What is Consensus?

Since 2015, Consensus has been more than an event–it’s the annual gathering of the tribes. It’s where the most influential companies in blockchain, digital assets and Web3 come together to drive the industry forward.

In 2025, Consensus expands to Hong Kong, uniting East and West for pivotal conversations and deals that will define what’s next.

Produced by the award-winning media outlet CoinDesk, Consensus is built on a foundation of independent, unbiased journalism, driving transformative ideas and honest dialogue.

Don’t miss this moment—join us in Hong Kong.
