Europe's largest Bitcoin conference returns to Prague this week

For the second year, Prague will host BTC Prague, the largest Bitcoin conference in Europe. The event, June 13-15, 2024, at PVA Expo Letňany, aims to be the biggest of its kind worldwide. The motto of the second year of BTC Prague is “to build bridges and strengthen relationships within the European Bitcoin space and beyond.”

The conference will feature over 170 speakers, including industry leaders such as Michael Saylor, Adam Back, and Jack Mallers. Czech and Slovak Bitcoin experts like Marek Palatinus, Pavol Rusnák, and Lukáš Kovanda will also present. In addition, more than 85 companies operating in the crypto space will exhibit at the event.

“Through BTC Prague, the Czech Republic is solidifying its position as a major player in the global Bitcoin community,” said economist Lukáš Kovanda. "We’re still working to increase understanding and adoption among politicians, authorities, and banks, and this conference is a key part of those efforts.”

In addition to the main conference program, BTC Prague will offer opportunities to test the latest Bitcoin products and services. The event caters to experienced Bitcoiners and those new to the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

“Bitcoin represents a digital revolution on par with the internet,” said Martin Kuchař, CEO of BTC Prague. “This conference showcases Bitcoin’s power to provide freedom, stability, and solutions to real-world problems.”

The 2024 edition of BTC Prague follows a successful inaugural event last year, which drew over 6,000 visitors. Organizers expect to welcome 8,500 attendees over the three-day conference.

“The level of interest we’ve received, from both speakers and exhibitors, is a testament to the growth and importance of the Bitcoin space,” said Matyáš Kuchař, co-founder of BTC Prague. "We’re excited to build on last year’s success and deliver an even bigger and better event in 2024.”

Czechia has long ranked as one of the world’s most crypto-friendly countries: the conference aims to strengthen the already solid cryptocurrency community that already exists in the country.
