Bitcoin 2021 will feature a massive collection of the best and brightest minds in the space, dozens of one-of-a-kind BTC activations and the chance to celebrate the world’s best technology with all of your internet friends IRL.
Initially scheduled for March 2020, the event was on track to be the largest Bitcoin conference in history. By mid-February, over 2,000 people had registered and the organizers were on pace to host nearly 4,000 people at SVN West in San Francisco. 100+ speakers, 50+ media outlets and 75+ of the best companies in the space were set to celebrate with us. Then, COVID-19 happened.
Like many events across the globe, Bitcoin 2020 had to be postponed due to governmental restrictions. Not wanting to risk the safety of attendees or make any sacrifices to the atmosphere of the event, the organizers were forced to reschedule.
The initial plan was to reschedule Bitcoin 2020 for a September 2020 date in San Francisco, however, space capacity limitations, gray areas of international travel restrictions and a lack of clarity from the City of San Francisco have made it impossible to host the celebration of Bitcoin that was envisioned.
The Plan B was about hosting Bitcoin 2021 in Los Angeles on April 30 and May 1, 2021, but the agenda has changed again with the conference having been moved to June 4-5, 2021, in Miami, Florida.
