Bitcoin Forum

There was an article somewhere that did just that, I kind of lost it.
Could we make this thread the "official" thread that lists all the different conferences?

I'll start - the next one I'm aware of is btc london (http://btclondon.com/), an invite-only event targeted at entrepreneurs, VCs, and hedge fund professional (I'm attending btw).

Update: See the list of conferences in the wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Conferences).
For those who add a new conference, please add it to the wiki for more visibility and order.

(This (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinPayment) is how you can edit rights to the wiki)

This is the one I'm going to...

While other conferences have tended to focus on the technical and business side of things (which is great), the Vienna conference in November aims to look more at the social implications of Bitcoin and how Bitcoin and other disruptive technologies are able to liberate and empower people.

Crypto-currency Conference in Atlanta on October 5, 2013. http://www.cryptocurrencycon.com/ (http://www.cryptocurrencycon.com/)

Amsterdam (The Netherland)

September 27-29

The European Bitcoin Convention

 http://theconference.eu/  (http://theconference.eu/)

This Bitcoin Magazine article lists all of them: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/the-rest-of-the-year-bitcoin-convention-roundup/

We need some kind of a rating system to find out which are the most important.

A database could include the following items:

Is this the first edition?
How many people are expected? What's the size of the place?
How many different conferences?

Wiki page.

There's another resource for them here:

Cologne (Germany)

June 27

2. Bitcoin Conference

http://www.startplatz.de/event/2-bitcoin-konferenz/

I also try to keep listing important conferences or events on bitcoin.org here: http://bitcoin.org/en/events

But as a suggestion, I would love to see a larger list of conferences all over the world (including the very small ones) listed on the Wiki on this page:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Conferences

This way, I could add a link to it on http://bitcoin.org/en/events
And this would help to give a greater visibility to all of these events.

Good idea!

Are there any in florida?

This isn't an event that isn't shown widely:

Virtual Currencies Compliance Conference (VC3)

Looking at the list of speakers and panelists put up by the organizers, Bitcoin Europe geography does not include yet France, Italy, Spain, Portugal..

I'm going there too, but Amir Taaki never replied and looks like conference is cancelled.

no FBI behind there so difficult ??? ??? ???

anyone now when videos will be out for the past one in N.Y ?

Start a meetup group yourself and see what happens.  I tried one in Seoul Korea, but no Dice as of yet.  Only got one response.
:(

this will definitely be one of the biggest this year, and I'm going  ;D :D

Global Bitcoin Conference
December 14th - 15th, 2013  Bangalore, India
http://www.globalbitcoinconference.com

COINFEST is the biggest Bitcoin event in Canada, so far as I am aware. We have booths, demonstrations, and games like scavenger hunts and a poker room. We also have live music for part of the time, Bitcoin traders, and a faucet that gives a generous amount of free BTC to newbies. We also match your poker buy-ins.

Most conferences end up consisting of just Bitcoiners, but COINFEST is designed to appeal to the mainstream. There are enough programmers and money-men in Bitcoin, already, so our PR guy wanted to focus on the masses. This means the people you can show off your product or service to have no brand loyalties, yet, and are mostly buyers.

The last one, COINFEST: Round 2, had a bunch of university students come down for the Bitcoin amazing race, where they visit all the venues we signed up to accept Bitcoin. The next one will be called COINFEST 2014 and be even bigger. I might need to get a new Bitcoin venue for the next one after that... COINFEST is only held at places that accept Bitcoin, to support adoption and the Bitcoin economy.

The prices in BTC are updated on the eventbrite page (bitcoinshanghai.eventbrite.com).

As the price of bitcoins are so volatile and we are trying to promote the use of bitcoins we cannot keep adjusting the price, so we will make any adjustments at the event or I will personally buy you a drink to make up for the difference.   ;D

Guys, is there an updated summary of the events planned for 2014?

BTW, there are six conferences for Nov-Dec 2013. Crazy.

http://bitcoin.org/en/events

There has not yet been a conference announced in Austin, Texas on March 6th, 2014, but there will be.

If I can help, let me know!

It is missing Afrikoin, November 20th, 2013, Nairobi, Kenya.

FYI we are discussing an Israeli conference in Sep or October 2014.
The date isn't final yet ... but please save it for us ;)

CoinFest 2014 was officially announced. We have a whole lot of booths, shows, games and stuff planned that will be announced gradually until February 15, including an Afterparty and other events on the day of. Roughly 45 people so far are RSVP'd to come, which is pretty good for this early on. Will probably be Canada's biggest Bitcoin event, yet!

Meet Up: http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinvan/events/150664252/

I would like to give an update: The date we have chosen for the conference in Israel is 3-4 November 2014, which is Monday and Tuesday.

We're still in a very early planning stage and no additional details are available. But if you wish to attend, make sure to save the date and not have any conflicting plans. (And if you're organizing a conference, choose a different time :) )

We may be able to do it at an earlier date. Stay tuned...

I took the info from the above posts and combined them into this wiki page (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Conferences).

1. Please make sure your conference is there, and add any missing details. If you need wiki access, this is how you get it (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinPayment).
2. New posters - please update on the wiki as well as here.

Thanks for this!

Bitcoinference 2014 Amsterdam
Three days of Bitcoin. From Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
18th to 20th of March
Science Park Amsterdam
http://bitcoinference.com/
"Covering the business and scientific part of Bitcoin, currencies and their derivatives."

Science Park Amsterdam is where early attempts to integrate cryptography with electronic money were made by David Chaum (inventor of many cryptographic protocols. His 1981 paper, "Untraceable Electronic Mail, Return Addresses, and Digital Pseudonyms", laid the groundwork for the field of anonymous communications research. For example the predecessor of TOR: Mix networks), through his companies DigiCash (anonymous transactions) and ecash (anonymous electronic cash system), which used cryptography to anonymise electronic money transactions.
