Consensus 2017
About the Event
CoinDesk is proud to present its 3rd annual blockchain technology summit, Consensus 2017. Next May, professionals from the leading industry startups, investment firms, financial services giants, academic institutions and policy groups will return to the New York Marriott Marquis to discuss the evolving real-world applications of blockchain technology. Like Consensus 2016, our 2017 summit will feature two and a half days of demos, networking, and expert discussions regarding the most important commercial developments, technical innovations, and public policy issues affecting the blockchain industry. We expect another sell-out this year with a global audience of 2,000+ entrepreneurs, executives, investors, policy makers, developers, academics, and journalists from 800+ companies and 35+ countries. Our sponsors receive valuable advanced access to this audience, which allows them to connect in advance and schedule face-to-face meetings that drive their business development objectives.
