What attendees are saying

“I thought the conference CLE was excellent and I hope it continues next year in Vegas. I spoke with many who attended and it seemed to be very well received. Congratulations on a great conference.”

“Thank you so much for sponsoring the Bitcoin CLE last week. It was truly the best CLE I've ever attended--maybe because I'm so interested/excited about the topic, but I think the speakers were really good and it was truly helpful/insightful content from people who are on the forefront of these legal issues!”

“I specifically changed my flight and hotel two weeks ago to attend this event when I found out you were offering CLE. I flew in from Kansas City and really appreciate the opportunity to have CLE credit and learn more about bitcoin and digital assets while attending the conference. Thank you so much!!”
