North American Bitcoin Conference - Miami Beach

Hi everyone,

Some of you may know me as the organizer of the successful European Bitcoin Convention in Amsterdam a little over a month ago. At that time, the price of bitcoin was around €100. Things have changed a bit Wink

.

I'm happy to announce that we're organizing the next bitcoin conference in Miami Beach, on the weekend of January 25th and 26th.

As always, we’re taking the elements everyone loves about conferences, conventions and trade shows and leaving out all the boring stuff.

You can expect an awesome lineup of speakers from both the bitcoin and non bitcoin sectors. Our focus is, and had always been, to focus on encouraging new business and supporting entrepreneurs and businessmen alike.

The conference will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Centre in South Beach, and can hold up to 1000 people. Parts of the conference will be livestreamed for free on uStream with the help of the A/V team there.

The conference will have two tracks, including workshops and a beautiful exhibitor hall.

Tickets are now on sale. More info available here:

We've made tickets very competitively priced at $150, with single day passes available for $100. Check out using bitcoin or USD.

We have speakers lined up, adding more daily, and plenty of attendees buying tickets.

We're working with hotels in the area to accept bitcoin, and recommend http://www.btctrip.com for your flights.

I'm happy to answer any questions, and if you'd like to speak at the conference, buy an exhibitor booth, or participate in any other way, just drop me an email. My name's Moe Levin, email is moe@btcmiami.com

Moe. Why do you chose to be anonymous??

Can anyone who attended the Amsterdam Conference please comment on the value of that event. Thx.

Personally, I made a ton of connections and new acquaintances at the Amsterdam one. So, for me it was a great networking event (especially for European contacts), and somewhat an informational event from the speakers, too. Though I was jet lagged through most of it Undecided

Amonymous is just a username. Clever way to put my name (moe) inside anonymous.

My name is Moe Levin. Shoot me an email if you'd like.

The Amsterdam conference was great value, we made some very good connections for Neo & Bee there, we are also represented at the conference by our Chief Operating Officer.

Hi Moe,
Amsterdam conference was great !
Is there a possibility of a livestream of this event ?
I am sure many fellow bitcoiners would be willing to donate for this purpose ?! Wink

Glad you liked Amsterdam!

Some portions of this event WILL be livestreamed. They will be done by the AV team there. I'm paying them to do it, and to make sure it goes smoothly. Donate your bitcoins to better things (https://bitme.com/donate for example)

The team is most familiar with uStream, so I expect to have a link for the stream closer to the date.

If my schedule opens up, I am not working hard enough before our launch. George is a great public speaker, so our presentation is in capable hands.

Added two new speakers:

Félix Moreno de la Cova
Trader & Portfolio Manager at RF Trading

and

Gabriel Caballero
Anti Money-Laundering attorney from Miami

Added a new sponsor:

Doubledutch - which will be providing the event app for people to connect with each other before and after the conference. We're building the app now for ios and Android (sorry blackberry).

wow, just saw this. This actually looks quite interesting.
Don't know if I can get my company to pay for the attendance, but i'll take a look and submit a proposal. BTC is becoming more and more prevalent in my line of work (we've also been seeing WAYYY to many fraudulent account takeovers where the criminal is converting money into BTC).

Would love to have you there.

Added an attorney who is representing an alleged Silk Road user.

I think the lawyers at the conference in Amsterdam offered a lot of unique insight.

Considering this is a short drive for me... I'll probably end up coming just to check everything out Cheesy

Happy to add Jason King from Sean's Outpost to the list of speakers.

I guess we can have a 'when bitcoin hit's 2k" preparty Wink

We've added to our speaker list:

Happy to add Jeffrey Tucker from FEE.org as a keynote speaker,
as well as DoubleDutch as an Official Mobile Technology Sponsor.

Can't wait to see you there!

Wonder if I can work a table as "Have your bitcoin questions answered" like I did in San Jose, to help out newbies with how to get into bitcoins, news orgs with answers on bitcoin trends, and veterans on whatever bitcoin topics they wish to debate or learn more about. I'd do it as a volunteer, and it was quite usefull when I did it in San Jose (I'm assuming it was useful, because Julian and I were pretty much busy constantly, with people showing up nonstop for three days straight)
