CoinDesk, the most trusted media, events, indices, and data platform in the global crypto economy, announces that its flagship event, Consensus, will expand to Hong Kong, marking a historic milestone.
Consensus is the platform for global industry leaders to engage in the most important dialogues about digital assets, blockchain, and Web3. Consensus will take place from February 18 to February 20, 2025, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, marking the first time in five years that Consensus is held outside the United States.
Since its establishment in 2015, Consensus has become the world's oldest and most influential crypto and Web3 event, attracting over 15,000 attendees, 600 journalists, and 500 speakers at Consensus 2023. Notable figures from over 100 countries attended the event, including Fortune 500 CEOs, lawmakers, and sports and entertainment stars.
CoinDesk President Foster Wright stated: 'Asia is a global powerhouse of Web3, with tens of millions of crypto users, blockchain developers, and governments at the forefront of regulatory innovation. Hong Kong has strategically positioned itself as a key digital asset center in this vibrant region. Consensus has always been a global event, bringing together all aspects of the cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 communities. Consensus Hong Kong will continue this tradition, emphasizing thought leadership to foster tangible business growth, where attendees can expect to learn best practices from global experts and cultivate relationships that propel their businesses onto the international stage.'
Consensus Hong Kong will vividly depict a new digital era, where tokenization and artificial intelligence increasingly impact our daily lives. Its rich content covers cryptocurrency, tokenization, and the latest fintech and blockchain innovations. It will explore the impact of Web3 on cultural communities, address the opportunities and challenges posed by new artificial intelligence, data management, and privacy technologies, and examine how governments respond to these seismic changes.
The Hong Kong Investment Promotion Agency welcomes and supports Consensus in choosing Hong Kong to expand its Asian business. Liang Hanqing, the head of financial services and fintech at the agency, stated: 'Hong Kong is on an exciting journey of Web3 evolution, embracing cutting-edge technologies, such as the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) from investment warrants to real estate to intellectual property, to create new impacts on financial services and other economic sectors. The arrival of Consensus proves Hong Kong's world-class ambitions and developments in the Web3 space, which continues to attract entrepreneurs, talent, and investment. This conference will provide an exceptional platform to inspire innovation, attract tech leaders and builders, and most importantly, catalyze enhancing our capabilities as a leading international financial center to better serve the broader real economy.'
The Hong Kong Tourism Board's General Manager for Exhibitions and Cruises, Wong Cheuk-hung, stated: 'With our comprehensive bidding support, we are thrilled that Consensus has chosen Hong Kong as its first destination to expand its global business beyond North America. The selection of Hong Kong for this flagship cryptocurrency and Web3 conference is a vote of confidence, as Hong Kong provides fertile ground for businesses and industries. The event will greatly benefit from Hong Kong's appeal to investors, innovators, and speakers, which will also help drive economic returns and industry advancement. Hong Kong looks forward to providing rich experiences for participants and ensuring the long-term success of this event.'
