The festival-style event takes place June 10-12, 2022, with the Austin Convention center as a hub, while other locations across the city will host a variety of additional programs from CoinDesk, the World Economic Forum, the Coin Center, and other partner organizations.
CoinDesk’s largest annual event, Consensus, will return to a personal format and in Austin, Texas in 2022.
The Mayor of Austin, Steve Adler, said: “The future of cryptocurrency and blockchain is exciting, accelerating and on the agenda. Every day this disruptive revolution is becoming more and more mainstream.

CoinDesk CEO Kevin Worth said: “CoinDesk is excited to partner with the city Austin for Consensus 2022 to deliver an exciting new iteration of an event that has been setting the global agenda for the future of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and money since 2015. Over the past year, crypto quickly became a part of our daily lives, permeating the financial, cultural and social fabric with the general adoption of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Consensus 2022 is the only place where developers, entrepreneurs, investors, executives, academics, regulators, activists and crypto-curious newcomers learn, network, share ideas and interact with the most important technology since the internet. We appreciate the partnership with WEF and Coin Center and warmly welcome all interested industrial partners to participate in the most influential event of the year. “
CoinDesk Chief Content Officer Michael J. Casey said: “As the only ‘big tent’ ‘on the cryptocurrency and blockchain calendar, Consensus is encouraging discussions on all of the elements of the financial and economic transformation that this technology is driving. Whether you are interested in Bitcoin mining, Ethereum 2.0 or central bank digital currencies, DeFi, decentralized energy, intelligent supply chains, Web 3.0 or the interface of NFTs, art, music and media, we have you covered and are now introducing this framework take the next logical step to a more open programming model in a city that has perfected the art of the festival. “
