Bitcoin Conference Coming Back to Nashville in 2027

by | Apr 29, 2026

The world’s largest Bitcoin conference is coming back to Nashville in 2027, organizers of the event announced.

Set for July 15-17, 2027, at the Music City Center, next year’s conference is expected to draw tens of thousands of attendees from around the world, continuing its run as the industry’s largest annual gathering.

Since its launch in 2019, the conference has evolved from a niche meetup into a major platform for builders, investors, policymakers, and institutions shaping the future of Bitcoin. The conference has drawn an average attendance of 21,000 each year since 2022, hosted over 500 speakers, and attracted participants from more than 125 countries.

The conference’s return to Nashville follows one of its most notable moments in 2024, when tens of thousands gathered at the same venue to hear then-candidate President Donald Trump deliver a keynote address that drew widespread attention both inside and outside the crypto space.

During his 49-minute speech, Trump described Bitcoin as a “miracle of cooperation and human achievement” and predicted it could one day surpass gold in market value. He also pledged that the U.S. would aim to become the “crypto capital of the planet” if he returned to office.

This week, the conference’s 2026 edition in Las Vegas featured high-profile speakers such as Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and current Block Head and Chairperson of Block, Inc., and Eric Trump, the president’s son and executive vice president of Development and Acquisitions at The Trump Organization.

Other notable figures who have spoken at previous years’ conferences include Vice President JD Vance, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., White House A.I. & Crypto Czar David Sacks, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and professional athletes Serena Williams, Aaron Rodgers, and Tony Hawk.

David Bailey, CEO and chairman of Nakamoto Inc., has described the annual Bitcoin conference as “the room where the rest of the decade gets written.”
