Stages at Bitcoin 2020

Nakamoto Consensus Stage

The third-floor stage will host Bitcoin 2020’s opening and closing keynote sessions each day. Additionally, it will be used for video screenings, as well as various topical breakouts and roundtables.

Proof Of Work Stage

This year, our second floor will anchor a fully immersive content area which will hold each of our core programming tracks. As home to a majority of this year’s conference sessions, the layout will fade from theatre-style seating into more casual classroom seating to enable both active and passive spectators.

Permissionless Stage

Our most intimate content area is housed on the first floor with uses ranging from hands-on workshops, to community-generated presentations, to live interviews and product demonstrations.

The Presentation Pod

With so much to do and so little time, we’re enabling a closed-door video presentation pod. These sessions are meant to enable quick turnaround for sharing and to further democratize who can share thought leadership across this community.

Sound Money Stage

Our third-floor rooftop beer garden needs programming to match the energy and enthusiasm of the Bitcoiners who will populate it. Live podcast recordings, music and entertainment and some impromptu AMAs are just some of the things that will popping up on our roof.
