The conference will take place on February 5 at the La Concha Resort, San Juan, Puerto Rico, positioning the island as a strategic hub for technological and economic advancement.
Veronica McGregor, CLO Exodus, Marco Santori, former CLO Kraken, Jacob Hample, Head of Government Affairs Filecoin, and Ron Hammond, Senior Director of Government Affairs Blockchain Association will talk federal regulatory framework legislation and paths to enactment. Brandon Green, Chief of Staff BTC Media, will share how crypto shaped the 2024 election results.
Keynote fireside chat will be Jonathan Jachym, Global Head of Policy for Kraken and Don McGhan, former White House Counsel under the Trump Administration. Pro-crypto Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (D) VA-10 will be joining virtually to talk about the 119th Congress with Cleve Mesidor Executive Director of the Blockchain Foundation.
“Yes, this is the most crypto-friendly Congress ever, but the incoming class of Freshman lawmakers, which is comprised of a new generation of bipartisan Members of Congress who campaigned on support for Web3, is even more compelling,” Mesidor said. “U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam is among the policymakers committed to advancing a regulatory framework to foster innovation across America, including Puerto Rico.”
