Blockchain Week: An Insider’s Guide to NY’s Events

The first-ever “Blockchain Week” is almost upon us, set to run May 11-18 in New York City.  The event is the collaboration between Coindesk and the New York City Economic Development Corporation, which is a non-profit organization promoting economic growth across the City’s five boroughs.

The week kicks off with the Ethereal Summit, which will bring together thought leaders from across the world.  The 2-day conference will gather builders, policymakers, artists and humanitarians for storytelling and knowledge sharing on how we can build a decentralized future using Blockchain technology.

Blockchain Week’s main event will be Consensus, which will feature 250+ speakers and 4,000 attendees, and includes a job fair and hackathon.  Closing out the week will be the RestartX Global Blockchain Conference.
