Overview

Consensus is CoinDesk's flagship North American conference and, for 2026, makes its debut in Miami — self-billed as 'The Super Bowl of Blockchain.' With 20,000+ senior leaders from crypto, finance, tech, and policy converging for three days, it is unambiguously the largest crypto event in the Americas. The 2026 edition centres on three forces reshaping global finance: on-chain infrastructure, institutional adoption, and AI agents operating in economic markets. Consensus is where narratives are set, funding rounds are announced, and the industry takes stock of where it's headed.

What to Expect
