Consensus Expands: Crypto’s Biggest Conference Returns to Hong Kong and Heads to Miami in 2026

🌍 From East to West: Consensus Doubles Down in 2026

Consensus is going global — again.

After a sold-out smash in 2025, CoinDesk’s flagship event is returning to Hong Kong and launching a new edition in Miami, making 2026 its boldest year yet.

Two continents. Two capitals. One mission: connect the crypto world, from Asia to the Americas.

🐉 Hong Kong: The East’s Crypto Powerhouse

📅 February 10–12, 2026 📍 Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

Consensus Hong Kong is back — and this time, it’s bigger:

• 👥 10,000+ attendees expected
• 🎤 300+ speakers from around the world
• 💡 Focus: blockchain, AI, digital finance, and real-world Web3 use cases
• 🤝 Major East-West collaborations

“Hong Kong is the gateway to Asia’s tech future,” says Michael Lau, Consensus Chairman.

With local startups and multinationals sharing the stage, expect hard conversations, real deals, and massive visibility.

🌴 Miami: The New Capital of Crypto Cool

📅 May 5–7, 2026 📍 Miami Beach Convention Center

Consensus is finally hitting the U.S. East Coast — and it’s not New York.

Miami’s first-ever Consensus will channel the city’s:

• 🔥 Web3-native energy
• 🌎 Proximity to Latin America
• 💼 Exploding VC and startup scene

“Miami brings a new dynamic to Consensus,” says Managing Director Brad Spies. “It’s where crypto meets culture.”

Expect this edition to lean into cross-border finance, tokenized markets, and high-impact networking — all with that Miami heat.

🔧 What to Expect: Panels, PitchFests, Hackathons

Both events will deliver CoinDesk’s signature programming:

• 🎙 Fireside chats with founders, regulators, and fund managers
• 💸 CoinDesk PitchFest: where startups pitch Web3’s next unicorns
• 💻 Consensus Hackathon: for devs building the next breakout dApp
• 🥂 VIP mixers, cultural showcases, and after-hours alpha

These aren’t just crypto conferences — they’re global strategy summits.

From Bitcoin OGs to AI protocol founders, everyone shows up at Consensus.

🧠 TL;DR: Consensus Is Going Cross-Continental — And Crypto’s Never Looked Bigger

With two world-class locations, 2026’s dual Consensus editions are more than just events — they’re a statement. Crypto’s no longer niche. It’s global.

And if you're not at Consensus next year, you're not in the room where it happens.
