Proof of Steak | The Bitcoin MoM Summit – Satellite Event Not Run By BitBlockBoom

9:30 AM – 10:00 PM

This event is designed as the perfect warm-up before the main BitBlockBoom conference kicks off.

Being a community organizer can sometimes feel like a solo mission. This summit is designed to change that.

The core goal of this summit is simple but powerful: to bring together Bitcoin meetup organizers from around the world to connect, share their successes, troubleshoot common challenges, and ultimately strengthen the entire grassroots Bitcoin movement. And while our focus is on community building, we also warmly welcome miners, energy pros, and other passionate Bitcoiners to join the conversation and foster valuable cross-pollination.

To understand our approach, it helps to know that “Proof of Steak” is an “unconference.” Unlike a traditional conference with a rigid schedule, an unconference is a participant-driven event where the agenda is created by the attendees themselves, driven by participation, collaboration, and shared knowledge. The best analogy for this format is a community potluck.

TGFB26 – Satellite Event Not Run By BitBlockBoom

9:00am – 4:00pm – Location Fort Worth Stockyard Events Center – Lonestar Hall 

Announcing: the TGFB26 Conference. Whether you're totally new, a longtime Bitcoiner, or somewhere in between, this is a perfect place to come and meet Christians in the Bitcoin space and hear from some of the most trusted voices in Bitcoin as we look at the world through new eyes and orange tinted glasses.

The format of the event will be different than any other TGFB event to date: while we will have a number of standalone keynote speakers, the event will be much more decentralized than we've ever done before. The agenda will be set by the people in the room, for the people in the room with their specific questions, concerns, challenges, and lessons learned.

We will have Bitcoin experts from a variety of different fields, and the event will give you hands on access to learn and network for the entirety of the event rather than simply between sessions.
