The second edition of the Bitcoin Medellin Conference is set to take place on January 16-17, 2026, in Medellin, Colombia, a vibrant city also known as the City of Eternal Spring. This conference promises to be a significant gathering in the world of Bitcoin, attracting both local and international participants. Medellin is well-regarded for its cultural richness, beautiful landscapes, and hospitable people, making it an appealing destination for attendees.
Plaza Mayor, a prominent event conference venue located in the heart of the city, will host the event. The conference is expected to feature an impressive lineup of speakers, including notable figures such as Jeff Booth, a venture capitalist and author of “The Price Of Tomorrow”; Oliver Velez, a seasoned Wall Street veteran and educator; Mike Peterson, the founder and director of El Salvador’s Bitcoin Beach; and Frank Corva, a Bitcoin journalist. This diverse array of speakers underscores the global perspective the conference aims to provide, with discussions set to be conducted in both Spanish and English.
Over the course of two days, attendees can expect to engage in in-depth talks that cover a wide range of topics related to Bitcoin, including mining, financial strategies, self-custody, and investment tactics. The conference is designed to cater to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers to the cryptocurrency space.
Of particular note are the two tiers of tickets available: General and Premium. The General ticket grants access to speeches and the main event hall, while the Premium option provides enhanced access to VIP spaces and exclusive side events. A significant discount is offered to Colombian residents, aiming to foster local participation and enthusiasm in the growing Bitcoin community.
Last year’s VIP Speakers mixer dinner was a standout experience, held at a five-star Argentinian restaurant, where attendees had the chance to network with industry leaders and innovators.
Colombia has been gaining recognition as a burgeoning hub for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency activities. With a remarkable percentage of its imports from China being settled in stablecoins, the country boasts a longstanding and vibrant cryptocurrency community characterized by a robust peer-to-peer and over-the-counter market.
As the countdown to the conference begins, industry insiders suggest that this event should be on the radar of anyone interested in the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, especially for those considering attending conferences in the upcoming year.
