We are on the cusp of something big – blockchain technology is set to fundamentally transform important aspects of life and business. But no great technological revolution has ever come without also stoking chaos.

As the world’s largest, longest-running and most influential gathering of the many differing elements that make up the crypto and blockchain community, Consensus has a dedicated purpose to find order in that chaos year after year. The backdrop to this year’s festival makes this mission all the more exciting. A shakeup in markets has created rich opportunities to set the industry on a path to mass adoption while also weeding out the unsustainable projects built on hype rather than substance.

Consensus 2023 is a call to action for builders, creators, storytellers and money movers to come together and forge the future of finance and the Web3 economy in a volatile world.

At CoinDesk, we aren't just leading the story on this global transformation – we are a part of it. Our Consensus festival is an invitation to bring silos of innovation and ambition together to calibrate and cultivate collaboration among developers, industry leaders, lifestyle and luxury brands, individual investors, Web3 founders, asset managers and more.

Great minds and radical thinkers will converge on Austin, Texas, to explore profound new ways of mobilizing communities, to partake in a digital renaissance of art and culture, to lay out the landscape of the metaverse and to establish new standards for transparency and accountability.

Consensus 2023 is the place where vision meets passion from those looking to learn, grow and build together.

Join us to play your part in advancing the blockchain and Web3 transformation.
