Blockchain companies seeking equity investment or with tokens trading on exchanges are invited. If selected, there is no cost for companies to pitch, and presenters will receive a complimentary ticket to CoinAgenda.

CoinAgenda Caribbean conference sessions will focus on connecting investors, traders, family offices, funds, and entrepreneurs to explore topics including:
- Blockchain investment as the bitcoin halving approaches
- Blockchain economic development in Puerto Rico
- Puerto Rico as a global crypto-friendly banking center
- The brave new world of decentralized finance (aka “DeFi”)
- Legal and regulatory issues for blockchain companies and investors.
“With bitcoin prices up more than 40 percent in the first six weeks of 2020, investors are beginning to position themselves for the next bull market, which has historically run up right after the bitcoin halving event that happens every four years – and will occur this year in May,” said Michael Terpin, Founder and CEO of CoinAgenda. “Unlike four years ago, the blockchain economy includes so much more than just bitcoin, and this conference lets attendees meet global experts and entrepreneurs in an intimate environment where they can both learn and network one-on-one with world-class industry leaders.”
