Overview

Consensus 2027 will mark another annual edition of CoinDesk's flagship North American conference — the largest crypto event in the Americas. The 2026 Miami debut will likely inform the 2027 location decision, with Miami, New York, and Austin all viable candidates based on historical rotation. By 2027, the convergence of AI, stablecoins, and institutional DeFi is expected to be even more central to the programme, reflecting a market in which these technologies have moved from experimental to foundational.
