Bitcoin Alliance of Canada Launches First Global Bitcoin Expo in Toronto
The Bitcoin Alliance of Canada will hold the first annual Bitcoin Expo in Toronto from April 11 through 13 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The conference is a three-day extravaganza event focused on Bitcoin community building, and featuring prominent speakers, guests and attendees from around the world.
The expo will provide unique opportunities for businesses, consumers, entrepreneurs, developers, innovators, and the curious general public to connect. This conference is organized as a non-profit event, with proceeds going to fund the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada's programs and initiatives.
"The expo will provide the most ideal networking opportunities for global leaders and stakeholders to gather and discuss strategies to build Bitcoin organizations at the local, national, and international levels," said Anthony Di Iorio, executive director of the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada. "In addition, there will be a focus on how the community can work with charities and worthy causes around the world by taking advantage of the benefits and superiority of Bitcoin and other digital currencies."
The Bitcoin Expo also will play host to an art exhibit and auction, and a hackathon on the next generation of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency applications, technologies and services.
"We're excited to have Andreas Antonopoulos, one of the top Bitcoin thinkers in the world, as our master of ceremonies," said event manager Tracy Leparulo. "Andreas will be hosting the opening banquet dinner, and leading other special activities throughout the conference."
