Event Vision

To create an immersive, world-class experience, set on Capitol Hill and luxurious off-site venues, where policymakers, industry innovators, and global thought leaders converge to shape the future of money, governance, and the law.

Through compelling programming and high-level dialogue, we will educate lawmakers about the rapid evolution of technologies like AI, blockchain, and quantum computing, while examining their economic and policy impacts across both the public and private sectors.

By blending serious discussion with unforgettable moments, like our 1930s-themed Cryptopoly gala, we foster meaningful connections, inspire collaboration, and accelerate the adoption of transformative technologies that will define the decades to come.
