Conference Format

Bitcoin First 2024 is an unconference where every attendee has the opportunity to propose and lead discussions. The agenda is set collaboratively by the participants, ensuring that the topics are both relevant and engaging. Rather than sitting passively in an audience watching presentations, you’ll be actively involved in private discussions with fellow attendees, fostering deeper connections and more meaningful exchanges of ideas.

The event follows the Chatham House Rule. Participants are free to use the information shared at the event while keeping the identity and affiliation of speakers and participants confidential. This encourages open dialogue in a confidential environment.
