Why Agora Miami

Wynwood paints its walls without asking permission. We run the conference the same way. Eight things the big shows won't put on the wall:

What sets this day apart

Come to both

Monday, May 3, 2027: the day before Consensus Miami. Sessions end at 4:45 PM ET, and Consensus badge pickup stays open until 8:00 PM that Monday. You don't have to choose.

No-KYC registration

A handle and an email is all we ask. No ID scan, no legal name on your badge, and no attendee list sold or handed to sponsors.

No pay-to-play stage

Sponsored talks are labeled and educational; no token or investment pitches.

Pay in crypto or fiat

Every ticket and sponsor invoice can be paid in crypto or fiat. Crypto goes straight to a self-custodied wallet, with no custodian in the middle, and gets 10% off.

The hall, all day

Faraday phone lockers at the door, a privacy clinic and an Exit Stories booth, a marketplace map on the wall, and a badge puzzle that runs until close.

Chatham House & no-photo badges (to confirm)

Selected sessions run under the Chatham House rule and aren't recorded. A no-photo marker on your badge means don't photograph me, and the crew asks every camera to respect it.

Agora tables (to confirm)

A peer-to-peer market floor where builders and makers show their work and deal with you directly. Agora Miami holds no funds and takes no cut, and there are no on-site swaps or OTC trades.

Open-source everything (to confirm)

The site code, run of show and planning templates are to be published openly. Talk recordings go up raw, except Chatham House sessions.

Items 06–08 still need answers (badge marker pricing, Agora table space, licence and speaker consent) and are marked (to confirm) until then.
