What is Consensus @ Consensus?
We’ve identified 11 "issues” to discuss in the Consensus @ Consensus workshops, including: the need to protect user privacy while meeting law enforcement’s and regulators’ goals; making good on crypto’s early promises of individual empowerment and social inclusion; and more.
Some of the off-stage conversations will be invite-only and unattributed, with a goal to represent a cross-section of interested parties, including developers, policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs and nonprofits. Some of those conversations are open to application.
Other discussions will be Town Hall-style sessions open to all Consensus attendees with invited speakers leading the conversations.
All attendees will have a chance to contribute by answering specially tailored questions delivered in the Consensus app or in an online survey.
The Report
In early June, in the midst of CoinDesk’s month-long 10-year anniversary celebrations, we will publish the findings of the deliberations in our inaugural Consensus @ Consensus Report.
The report is intended to point the way forward for an industry that’s rebuilding after a wrenching downturn.
