Future of Crypto 2023 | Benzinga | 14 November 2023 | Convene, 225 Liberty St, New York, NY 10281, USA

The biggest day of the year for crypto enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, investors, and networkers to discover the #1 crypto ideas you can use today – directly from hundreds of industry insiders and dozens of project creators.

Benzinga’s back, and at a brand new location in the financial hub of the world.

The brightest minds in crypto and dealmaking, along with an exclusive group of attendees and a diverse lineup of famed industry speakers will take to New York City for this years must-attend event.

Crypto’s down but not out, many of us are wondering if 2022 marks the end of crypto or a new beginning. That’s why you’re going to want to attend in person, to meet other like-minded investors and entrepreneurs… and be in the same room as some of the smartest and most recognizable people in the world, like Mr. Wonderful.

With so many smart people in the room, at past events we’ve seen business partnerships form, equity and debt investments take place, heard product licensing discussions, merger and acquisition talks, investments you could take part in immediately and more…

This is the type of event where you could learn the name of the next big 10x investment and have drinks with some of the brightest minds in all of finance and business.
