I'm happy to announce that I've now managed to finalise the details for the first ever Scottish Bitcoin Conference. It will be held in Edinburgh on Saturday August 23rd 2014 - check out the details as they get updated at the website:
www.scottishbitcoinconference.com.
This is the first Bitcoin Conference that Scotland has ever hosted and we have a fantastic line-up set for the day, including:-
Jon Matonis (Bitcoin Foundation)
Moe Levin (BitPay)
Ganesh Ganesan (PeerNova)
Garrick Hileman (LSE)
David Irvine (MaidSafe)
Tom Robinson (Elliptic)
...plus many more still to be confirmed during a packed day's schedule at CodeBase, the largest technology incubator in Scotland (
http://www.thisiscodebase.com/).
The best news? We've managed to cap the ticket cost at
only £50 each (payable in either Bitcoin/sterling). I'm pretty certain that makes it one of the cheapest conferences out there. However, as a result, tickets are limited so if you're interested in coming along, please do buy sooner rather than later (< not just marketing speak!). Financially, we're running this with the goal of trying to break even if at all possible so that we can do it all over again next year but I'm mainly keen to ensure that we get interested people in the same room together.
Looking forward to seeing as many of you there as possible in Edinburgh later this Summer. For those of you who might be planning to make a holiday of it, it's during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (

Cheers
Dug
