The first day of the conference will also feature some of the most innovative startups of the Crypto Valley as they pitch during the CVC23 Startup Competition.

Making new connections and strengthening existing ones has always been a key part of CVC, and networking will be front and center throughout this year’s event. There will be no shortage of opportunities to mix and mingle, culminating in the infamous sunset networking boat cruise for the finale of the event.
Commenting on the event, Emi Lorincz, President of the Crypto Valley Association, said: “From its inception, the Crypto Valley Conference has been bringing together the strongest, steadiest, and most influential minds of the Swiss and global crypto ecosystem. While the market constantly changes, one thing is certain –technology has never been stronger, and innovation is sprouting everywhere. This year we continue CVC’s tradition of bringing attendees high-quality, established speakers and also showcasing the newest projects through our Start-up Competition. We will dive into exciting topics like the future of Bitcoin, privacy, market making, liquidity provision, sustainability and so much more.
