Consensus, powered by CoinDesk, is the annual gathering of the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology world. Since 2015, Consensus has attracted every major company, developer, founder, and investor in the cryptocurrency and blockchain world to engage in an annual discussion about the future of the industry. Consensus aims to break down the barriers that separate companies in the industry and allows everyone working on the technology to spend three days learning from their peers. Previous speakers reflect the richness and diversity of the Consensus crowd, ranging from titans of Wall Street and Fortune 500 executives to pioneering cryptographers and the core developers who power the world’s most valuable cryptocurrencies.
