Consensus 2022 will be hosted in Austin, Texas, one of the America's most vibrant and creative cities, from June 9th to June 12th.
This is the only festival covering all sides of blockchain, crypto, Web 3 and the metaverse. Hosted by CoinDesk, the most influential and trusted platform for the digital world, Consensus is the world’s biggest and longest-running crypto festival.
Consensus will ignite hard-hitting conversations, spark critical debates, and host one-of-a-kind experiences for how these technologies and communities are remaking the worlds of finance, investing, culture, entertainment, marketing, governance and more. Thousands of the world's brightest minds and influential voices will be in Austin, Texas, and look forward to the days ahead with events and parties!
Consensus has been recognized as the most influential event in the cryptocurrency and blockchain field since 2015. Consensus will bring together thousands of attendees to hear from the most popular thought leaders and experience a wide range of keynote presentations, exclusive panels, workshops and networking opportunities. This event will be centered at the Austin Convention Center, while other locations throughout the city will host a variety of additional programming organizations from CoinDesk, the World Economic Forum, coin Center, and other partners.
In recent years, non-fungible tokens (NFT), metaverse and the possibility and adoption of decentralization are exploding. The
spread of the COVID-19 has caused most of us to stay behind closed doors. Many promise to create a way for artists and creators to bypass brokers, agents and other middlemen to find audiences and earn financial rewards. If you are a creator, the content of Consensus 2022 should be studied and considered in order to understand the latest ideas and innovation mechanisms for creative entrepreneurship.
In addition, Consensus 2022 has introduced a virtual pass option to enjoy the atmosphere anytime, anywhere with it. Consensus 2022 Live, presented by Bitget, allows you to listen from industry leaders to explore all aspects of crypto market, blockchain, Web 3 and metaverse.
The virtual pass will stream from the official Consensus website and mobile app, featuring content from all Consensus stages. Livestreaming begins on Thursday, June 9, and ends at the close of Consensus on Sunday, June 12. It will be available for 30 days following the event. Existing IRL Consensus passholders will also have access to these streams.
However, virtual pass holders will not be able to collect or use DESK and will not be able to view parties, happy hours or live music. All C22 pass holders can view the livestream from the Consensus Official App or online through the Consensus agenda.
The complex choreography of wallet identity checks and payment exchanges will keep CoinDesk's social token DESK circulating among an expected crowd of more than 15,000 attendees when Consensus 2022 starts on Thursday
"This is probably the biggest test in crypto media to date.”Jenil Thakker, CEO of Coinvise, a startup that builds tokenization and community experiences for brands including CoinDesk said. “No organization of CoinDesk's scale has ever done this before.”
CoinDesk is relaunching DESK for this year's Consensus,which is the first face-to-face meeting of this media and events company since 2019. It aims to bring conference attendees proficient in cryptocurrency closer to the brand while also getting a hands-on experience with the technology.
CoinDesk's value proposition to DESK holders is similar to the Disney dollar: it's valuable in the brand ecosystem, but worthless anywhere else. Like air miles, it rewards loyal users in a different way to earn internal perks. Unlike air miles, it exists on a public blockchain. The transaction is irreversible and beyond the issuer's control. CoinDesk itself sees DESK as a high stake. It implies the potential integration inside and outside the site in the future. For now, of course, the focus is Consensus 2022.
Whether you are a crypto beginner or an expert, Consensus will bring you the best experience. So don't miss this event, come and join the Concept Art House!
