July 19, 20: North American Bitcoin Conference Expects 2,000-Plus Attendees

Published at: June 30, 2014

Organizers of the second North American Bitcoin Conference expect a big turnout for what they describe as “the most community-oriented TNABC yet.”

This TNABC will be held in Chicago the weekend of July 19–20, and organizers recently announced that the Hotel Chicago will host the event.

“The Official kick-off party will take place in the iconic House of Blues, which will be the best location of the year to meet the movers and shakers of the Bitcoin industry,” organizers said in a release.

Organizers say that more than 2,000 people are expected for the conference, and they are trying to keep their prices low to get as many attendees as possible.

“To make our event the most affordable and community-oriented bitcoin conference in the world,” they said, “we've slashed our tickets prices to US$100 and will keep it at that price for the foreseeable future. ...

“Our community made us, so our philosophy will remain simple: we put our community first. We will provide networking and education opportunities for attendees that are unavailable anywhere else and keep the conference affordable for everyone.”

Tickets can be purchased here.

Conference organizers recently announced the final lineup of speakers, which includes Roger Ver, Perianne Boring, Bitshares’ Daniel Larimer, BitPay’s Jeff Garzik and Tony Gallippi, and OKCoin’s Star Xu.

The conference’s full schedule can be found here.
