The Bitcoin Conference is April 27 to 29 at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, and Unchained is showing up in a big way this year. We have four speakers across five sessions, two booths on the floor, and a lot we're looking forward to talking about.
Here's the full breakdown of where to find us and what we'll be discussing.
The Sessions
The Right to Self-Custody Shall Not Be Infringed
Joe Kelly, Co-founder and CEO - Monday, April 27 at 9:30 am, Nakamoto Stage
Joe is kicking off the conference on the main stage with a panel that gets at something we think about a lot: the right to hold and secure your own bitcoin as a civil liberties issue.
He'll be joined by Congressman Nick Begich and others covering the legal, political, and technological stakes of self-custody, and why the freedom to control your own bitcoin matters so much right now.
How Much Bitcoin Do You Really Need to Retire?
Trey Sellers, VP of Sales - Monday, April 27 at 3:30 pm, Genesis Stage
Bitcoin has a lot of people rethinking what retirement actually looks like. Trey will dig into savings frameworks, how to think about risk, and the assumptions people make when planning for long-term financial independence. If retirement planning is something on your mind, this one is worth catching.
Bitcoin, The Space Economy & Orbital Infrastructure
Dhruv Bansal, Co-founder and CSO - Monday, April 27 at 4:35 pm, Nakamoto Stage
Dhruv is moderating a conversation with Aaron Burnett, CEO of Mach33 Financial Group, about what money and financial infrastructure might look like as humanity expands beyond Earth.
It's a big picture session, and honestly one of the more fascinating conversations happening at the conference. What role does bitcoin play in a space economy? Worth sticking around Monday afternoon to find out.
Then They Fight You: From Ignored to Opposed, Where Bitcoin Is Now
Jonathan Melton, Head of Lending -Tuesday, April 28 at 11:30 am, Enterprise Stage
Jonathan is on a panel discussing the regulatory battles, financial hurdles, and institutional pressures shaping the next chapter of bitcoin adoption.
If you want to understand the forces working against bitcoin and how the industry is navigating them, this is a good one to catch.
Building Bitcoin Wealth Through Trusts, Insurance & Inheritance
Jeff Vandrew Jr., CFO & CLO - Wednesday, April 29 at 11:00 am, Enterprise Stage
As more people accumulate meaningful bitcoin wealth, the question of how to protect and pass it on is becoming a lot more urgent. Jeff will break down how trusts, inheritance structures, and proper planning can help families manage bitcoin across generations.
This is core to what Gannett Trust does every day, and Jeff is one of the best people in the space to talk about it.
Modular by Design: Building Everything on Bitcoin
Dhruv Bansal, Co-founder and CSO - Wednesday, April 29 at 3:20 pm, Nakamoto Stage
Dhruv closes out the conference on the Nakamoto Stage with a panel on what it means to build on bitcoin. The conversation covers scaling technologies, financial tools, and the broader vision of bitcoin as the foundation of a digital economy. If you want to understand where things are heading, this is the session to see.

Beyond the sessions, we'll have two booth locations where you can stop by, ask questions, and talk to our team directly.
