Keynote's Annual Gala Dinner
May 10th in Brussels
Join the developers, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are disrupting everything.
Keynote has been there since the beginning. From the first Bitcoin conference in the world in Amsterdam to Vitalik Buterin launching Ethereum in Miami, we’ve been there. From Chicago to Los Angeles, from the Burj al Arab in Dubai to the centre of London, we’ve been moving the conversation forward.
We now invite you to the Annual Gala Dinner at the seat of European Parliament in Brussels and we look forward to welcoming you at this event.
As you know, Keynote meticulously scouts out the best of the best, choosing fantastic speakers to teach you about the strategies, technologies, and innovations they’ve developed and mastered.
Now that we are in Parliament, we will be tackling issues of identity, citizenship, society, and trust. We will be diving deeper into the private sector, as well as discussing trade finance, energy management, fintech, and much more.
Over the dinner’s short, but action packed agenda, we’ll be hearing from industry leaders, Members of European Parliament, non-profits, and more. Be sure to use the opportunity to grow your network and make your voice heard.

“…the technologies that underpin bitcoin are a safe bet to disrupt the finance sector.”
THIS IS THE BEGINNING
Everything you know about finance is about to change. Over the last 7 years an experiment called bitcoin has created and proven a new kind of financial technology: The Blockchain.
The Blockchain is a new, smarter way to track financial transactions and contracts. They are faster, safer and more efficient than any ledger ever before. They are set to rock the financial world. Are you ready?
“Blockchain technology continues to redefine not only how the exchange sector operates, but the global financial economy as a whole”

WHY THE BLOCKCHAIN IS BIG NEWS
Visa, Citi, and NASDAQ
To modernize, streamline and simplify its administrative functions, NASDAQ has recently invested more than $100 million in implementing this new tech across the world’s second largest exchange.
UBS BANK
Swiss banking giant, UBS, is a big believer in the power of distributed ledgers to redefine finance. The bank has opened a research facility in London aimed at driving distributed ledgers mainstream.
ENTREPRENEURS
Visionaries like Apple’s Steve Wozniak, entrepreneur Jeremy Allaire and Virgin’s Richard Branson are investing millions in this new technology. They are among the first to see how valuable distributed ledgers are about to become.
MOST RESPECTED CONFERENCE
Now in its fifth year, Keynote is the longest running and most attended financial conference for the bitcoin, blockchain, and currency industries.
OUR HISTORY
Following the success of conferences in Amsterdam, London, Dubai, Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Keynote will travel to Brussels on May 10th, 2017 to discuss the bright future of Bitcoin and Blockchain, the most successful virtual currency in the world.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is making waves in both the media and financial world. With government regulators and online retailers finally recognizing the power of Bitcoin, this virtual currency is set to change the way we handle money.
“The blockchain is a technology which we’ve been studying, and yes it’s real, it can probably reduce the cost of doing business. If it proves to be cheap and secure, it would be adopted for a whole bunch of stuff. “
FIRST MOVER ADVANTAGE
If you’re not well schooled in bitcoin and its underlying technology, you’re not alone. Most executives don’t understand the repercussions of this new disruptive tech.
Attend the World Blockchain Forum to get yourself up to speed on the applications, ramifications and nuances of bitcoin and the blockchain. Be the first among your peers to profit from this new technology.
“Money at its core is simply a ledger for keeping track of debts, and bitcoin is truly the best iteration of a universal ledger we’ve ever seen.”
HIGH-CALIBRE ATMOSPHERE
The Hotel Le Plaza, perfectly located in the Brussels City Center, will provide the inspirational backdrop for the annual Blockchain Gala. Steeped in history and architecturally magnificent, this unique venue guarantees an atmosphere befitting the gala's caliber.
