Invitation-only, no press, no pitch decks, no keynote audiences. CEOs, protocol developers, academics, and investors convene in an unconference format where attendees set the agenda around Bitcoin scaling, sidechains, privacy, quantum security, and the long-game questions that don't get asked in public. Five days of resort comfort, gourmet meals, and unfiltered conversation.
