Quick answers
- What are the biggest Bitcoin conferences?
- The established circuit includes the large annual Bitcoin Conference in the US, European anchors like BTC Prague and Adopting Bitcoin, and regional gatherings across Latin America, Africa and Asia — this directory lists the ones with a track record of actually recurring.
- Are Bitcoin conferences worth attending?
- For most people the value is the hallway, not the stage: meeting builders, local communities and companies hiring. Smaller regional events often beat megaconferences on that measure — and cost far less to attend.
