One behalf of the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada I wish to invite you to the first annual Bitcoin Expo in Toronto from April 11 through 13 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The conference is a three-day extravaganza event focused on Bitcoin community building, and featuring prominent speakers, guests and attendees from around the world.
The Expo will provide unique opportunities for businesses, consumers, entrepreneurs, developers, innovators, and the curious general public to connect. This conference is organized as a non-profit event, with proceeds going to fund the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada’s programs and initiatives.
The Expo will provide the most ideal networking opportunities for global leaders and stakeholders to gather and discuss strategies to build Bitcoin organizations at the local, national, and international levels. In addition, there will be a focus on how the community can work with charities and worthy causes around the world, by taking advantage of the benefits and superiority of Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
The Bitcoin Expo will also play host to an art exhibit and auction, and a hackathon on the next generation of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency applications, technologies and services. More than 50 prominent members of the international Bitcoin community will also be speaking.
There are multiple levels of registration options:
Free – Bitcoin tutorial only, on Saturday morning (only 200 seats available)
Standard – Access to Saturday and Sunday sessions
Premium – Friday banquet dinner plus access to all standard sessions
VIP – Access to private events, including fireside sessions, Friday banquet dinner, and standard sessions
A limited number of discounted tickets for each level are available to attendees who register prior to March 15th. The full program will be released in mid-March, and as of today, the sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities have been announced, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. To get the fastest updates, please follow the expo’s Twitter account at @bitcoinexpoca where new speakers and program details are continuously being published.
I’m excited the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada is hosting this event. Please join us. Canada welcomes you!
