With recent controversy behind Jemima Kelly’s recent article in Forbes , Pete Rizzo’s recent article on Bitcoin Maximalism , plus the addition of a few of the most highly regarded journalists in the industry, this panel aims to face the controversy head-on and put the noise aside. Bitcoin Amsterdam aims to provide a place where all opinions are welcome and discussion is encouraged, and this panel looks to embrace that concept to the fullest. Check it out at 9:55 AM on G.A. Day 2.
More Than Just Panels Alongside the agenda and the amazing panels that are planned, there is more to the event’s experience than just what you will hear onstage. Here are a few additional highlights of activities that you will want to check out when you get to the venue.
Bitcoin Boat Tours I think that one of the best activities to do in Amsterdam is a boat tour, and it is exciting that these will be available at Bitcoin Amsterdam (sponsored by Ledn). This will be a great opportunity to network with potential clients, increase business development or get closer to your team. Make sure you check out all of the information that you need to know before you go.
The Art Gallery Last year at Bitcoin 2022, artists from around the world gathered to celebrate bitcoin and the opportunity it gives artists to be self-sovereign. Bitcoin Amsterdam aims to bring this exact same energy, but with an emphasis on European bitcoin artists. A few highlighted artists who are attending are Lena, Pepenardo, Cryptograffiti, Mear One, Proof of Paint, Ryr, Zetra, Tommy Marcheschi and so many more. See more about the attending artists and the gallery here .
Side Events And Whale Night In addition to what is taking place at the venue, our events bring a unique aspect to the entire trip with “Bitcoin Week.” Bitcoin Week provides companies, media outlets, and any individual an opportunity to pursue their own side event for the community to attend. This is the team’s fourth reiteration of “Whale Night”, at the local “Supperclub”.
Supperclub is nothing like you’ve experienced before . Not even close. A vibing club. A feast for all your senses where you’ll mix, mingle and dance the night away. Supperclub is home to the brave, the wild, the young and the restless.
It’s the home of unforgettable events and we know Whale Night will be just that — unforgettable!
The European Networking Opportunity Of The Year Apart from the amazing experience you will get to have as an attendee, there are massive opportunities for you to increase your network and get to know the Bitcoin industry better. With more than 40 companies, 50 media outlets and 3000 people expected to attend, this event is shaping up to be the leading event for sharing news, networking and advancing business development.
Here’s a list of three “must knows” to help you navigate networking at Bitcoin Amsterdam and be the most efficient that you can be.
We have a networking app! To learn more about the official conference app, please visit our mobile app page . You will be able to reach out to clients, set up meetings and lay out your entire event agenda all within our networking app. If you are looking for a job in the bitcoin industry, this is the app for you. There will be an exhibition hall! The exhibition hall will be the best place to network at the event. Visit your favorite bitcoin companies, meet their teams and see what they are building! The event is an “open campus!” An “open campus” means that many of the activities will flow from building to building and the entire site will be open to walk around, shoot interviews and network with others in the industry. Bitcoin Amsterdam is going to be the place to network. Doing things last second at conferences is typically very stressful and unsuccessful. Make sure to go in with a plan. Don’t be afraid to follow up with your connections after the conference and plan to meet them again at our Miami event in May 2023 !
Wrapping Things Up Bitcoin Amsterdam is going to be a three day extravaganza. If it is not currently on your agenda, then it needs to be! If you made it through this article and want to attend, I’m happy to give a special 21% discount for all readers with code “ARTICLE21.”
To conclude, here are some more thoughts about Bitcoin Amsterdam from David Bailey, the CEO of Bitcoin Magazine:
“While Europe is lagging behind other regions in terms of regulatory and governmental acceptance, demand from ordinary investors and institutions is among the highest in the world.
What’s more, the continent’s significant Bitcoin developer and innovator community is helping shape the future of the world’s preeminent digital currency — and which continues to rise.
Europe has been at the forefront of financial and technological innovation for over 500 years, with Amsterdam playing a particularly noteworthy role in the development of modern banking, making it the perfect choice for our first European event.
While Europe’s regulators have been so far slow to embrace the potential of Bitcoin, the combination of the continent’s history and its continued high demand for Bitcoin means that our community can give the support, collaboration and direction that European governments are so signally failing to provide, and together pursue our shared goal of Hyperbitcoinization.”
