Main Stage (Nakamoto Stage)
Pretty much nothing related to other cryptocurrencies or the smart-contract market. Not even about NFTs. The only connect with real world applications that i see is about Options and derivatives and "Future of Financial Forecasting". Whatever that implies for Bitcoin is beyond me so it should be interesting. While the lineup is definitely impressive, this does seem like old wine in a new bottle. There should at least be an exclusive session regarding the ETF rejections and SECs role, rather than the usual belligerence about "Is fiat money worth it". The Lightning Network has real world applications too. It's the biggest real world application that's built on Bitcoin right now, and it could be more than just be an off-chain layer for "cheaper/faster transactions". Its development since boot-strapping is slow though. The exchanges need to support it, and Bitcoin companies should form a Lightning business development team to work with it. Quote From the topics, it seems clear that the organizers are not betting on a mixed future of Bitcoin plus smart-contract based applications. I am not sure if that is pragmatic or just sort of cultist. You will like Paul Sztorc's talk. 
See this interview with the Director of Marketing (see 9:38)[1]. Apparently, there are quite a few things to be excited about.
Any guesses on the country adopting bitcoin as a legal tender next? It doesn't look like it's going to be Honduras[1]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvgOwwJqlww&t=705s [2] https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.59620688

My list of speakers that I will be look for are Nick Szabo, Adam Back, Bryan Bishop, Luke Dashjr, Matt Corallo, Murch, and Paul Sztorc. Plus if Roger Ver or Craig Wright are going, I would like to hear their talks too, just to be part of my sanity check.
This will be interesting and innovative conference. But I want to know is that since most of us can't go to Miami for the live conference, is there any means for us to watch it live in whatever location we found ourselves that day. Watching it online media, Television or listen to it on radio will be more interesting. Getting first hand information is better than hearing announcement from second hand. All the same, please we need the updates on this conference. The Wednesday's agenda are well rich to hear. Therefore, I am very much interested to hear or listen to the Wednesday's programs. If there is any way to watch, I will do it. When I did scanning and skimming, I could not notice any speaker, so it is an also an avenue to Know some speakers on crypto currency. But the app mentioned would have been a best way to watch and listen but can it work in my location which has low network connection.? Maybe, they will have the sessions recorded so in case you missed it, you can always watch it anytime you are free. Since they know that a lot of people around the globe are still hesitant to travel these days. And most can't afford to go into this event. High likely that the app will store the highlight videos. Though we don't know if they will charge something just to view certain speakers. I am really excited: the agenda is fully packed with great speaker, who I know are battling for the bigger announcements. Something big is to be announced. Really impressive list of speakers, although I must admit that there are those who are completely unknown to me, which is logical given that they come from some countries that are not in the mainstream focus. I will try to look at at least the most interesting speakers, and I hope that someone will look back at this bill that is currently hot topic in the EU. I don't know what to expect from the big news, except maybe we'll find out if some other countries will accept Bitcoin as a legal tender, as Bukele announced a few months ago. Thanks for the info on the official app, although I'm surprised that there are just over 500 downloads so far, as if people aren't too interested in events like this. However, there may be more interest from iOS users, given that this is an event taking place in the US.
Thanks for this thread! Time flies. There are only a few days left to enjoy another Bitcoin Conference.
A year ago the great announcement was made that El Salvador adopted bitcoin as legal tender. Surely we will know the progress that El Salvador has had in all this time. It is a very interesting conference due to the quality of the guests. I was struck by Aarika Rhodes, an elementary school teacher who will speak at the conference. Quote Announcing Aarika Rhodes as a #Bitcoin2022 speaker! @AarikaRhodes is an elementary school teacher running to unseat Congressman Brad Sherman. At the encouragement of the young people in her district, Rhodes added bitcoin as a donation method to her campaign. https://twitter.com/TheBitcoinConf/status/1509968955540226050?t=d2so2yKeUnU2MAfQv4vX3g&s=19 More from Aarika Rhodes in an article in the Washington Post. https://twitter.com/AarikaRhodes/status/1509347524208852994?t=xrMrIKbIRF197-EkuF1GpQ&s=19

I wonder if the app could offer a free stream from the conference? I think that would be a great addition if they have a feature like that. There are notable speakers that will attend though I didn't know most of them, I know how maximalist these speakers are e.g. Saylor and the El Salvadoran President Bukele. As far as I know, live stream will be available for main stage only. Anything happening on other stages won’t be live streamed. I don’t know if everything will later be uploaded to YouTube.
