BitBrum is a not for profit, community inspired, grass-roots organised event for Bitcoin enthusiasts. The sole aim of which is inform people about the technological, economic and societal impact of this nascent space and to equip people with the knowledge to avoid the scams and the tools and confidence to innovate.
A message from the organizers:
BitBrum 2017 attracted over 250 people, featured world renown speakers, offered balanced and objective educational workshops and a was held in a pretty cool venue – right in the heart of Birmingham.
Our region has a fine industrial & commercial heritage and together we thrive and prosper on diversity. But take a walk around the streets or travel around the region and you’ll see there are many problems to solve. We believe that crypto-currencies (such as Bitcoin & ancillary ‘Blockchain’ technology) that offer; egalitarian friction-less commerce, decentralised security and permission-less innovation can be part of the solution.
BitBrum created a lot of interest. 200 tickets were taken and we catered for c250 people. We want to keep ticket prices as low as possible to attend but that means we rely upon sponsors and exhibitors.
