The date of the next CoinFest has finally been announced! From February 20-22, cities around the world will celebrate all things crypto. We've put up a placeholder page at CoinFest.org with the rules and a growing list of participants until we finish upgrading our website. |

Reservations are unnecessary.  Unless you want to join as an organizer and run a CoinFest in your locality... then some cooperation is involved! |

Frank Pouliot from the Bitcoin Embassy is now the French language coordinator, and the CoinFest has spread to Brazil, where organizer Helio Silva will be the Portuguese language coordinator. CoinFest.org will be updated as soon as Helio's Brazilian CoinFest website ( www.coinfest.com.br) is published. Let us know if you want to help, too! |

The new CoinFest website has finally arrived! You can see what it's about, past events, events to come, and ways that you can get involved! The web design template was provided for free by Mojito Sites, and many more upgrades are pending. Stay tuned! |

You should probably contact the New York Bitcoin Center. They do a lot of these events, and a good one in New York would be a nice win, IMHO.

We would love to see CoinFest spread to New York. The Bitcoin Fair there seemed interested for a little bit, but abruptly dropped contact. Is the Center likely to respond to me via the standard channels? Anyone with an "in" there could be very helpful to us. |

We've added Rome, Italy to the list, and a crude map to show CoinFest's global expansion. Stay tuned for further updates to this page: http://www.coinfest.org/coinfest-2015-2/ |

We've added a reporting page to CoinFest.org. By making all of our public keys known and revealing the source/destination of and reason for all transactions, CoinFest turns the pseodoanonymity of Bitcoin into a tool for transparency. |

That's great news! The history and culture of the Netherlands is pretty much ideal for the spirit of CoinFest. You guys have that Bitcoin Boulevard, right? That would be a perfect place to do it. Please let me know what support you can offer--we don't have any organizers in that area, yet. |

For those still wondering what CoinFest is all about, the founder wrote an article for Bitcoin Magazine called the Spirit of CoinFest. Check it out. Meanwhile, the first donations for CoinFest 2015 are trickling in. XBT Jackpot sent around .1 BTC, making them the first corporate donor. They also created an account with 50 mBTC in CoinFest's name; the founder was contracted by CoinFest to gamble briefly on its behalf, and the proceeds were withdrawn to the CoinFest account. Several more locations around the world are considering joining the fun. Stay tuned. |

The Transparency page appears to have been a popular feature. We also made the Coin Front, and will have another news article coming out soon. All of that is detailed on the News page, newly added. Additionally, we have updated the map and made some tweaks to the website here and there. There are now 10 cities participating in CoinFest on 4 continents--stay tuned for some awesome news. |

Do you have a press release/press kit?

We don't really have a press kit; I just email news outlets from time to time, and have personal connections with certain journalists. All the CoinFest organizers in other cities also engage the press independently, in a decentralized fashion. |
