Bitcoin People - Meet the Activists (2014)

Agenda:

18:15-19:00 - Gathering and refreshments
19:00-21:00 - Meet the Activists
21:00-22:00 - Free discussion

Bitcoin gets its power from the people who use it, but also from its activists - those who dedicate their time to foster the community, build enabling products and research its core technology and economic principles.

Israel is a bustling center of Bitcoin innovation and the home of many such activists. Do you know who they are? Have you met them? Can you attach faces to the names you have heard of on the internet?

This special event, which continues an annual tradition, will give you a rare opportunity to learn who's who in the Bitcoin world and what are all the exciting initiatives in this sphere. ~40 key figures of Israel's Bitcoin community, industry and academia will each take the stage for a few minutes to talk about themselves and their Bitcoin projects.

Speakers will include Meni Rosenfeld, Ron Gross, Gil Assayag, Ariel Horwitz, Eli Bejerano, Eden Shochat, Jonathan Klinger, Dor Konforty, Gitai Zach, Ayal Yona Segev, Moran Shaked, Eli Sklar, Nimrod Lehavi, Mikael Bouzaglo, Yakir Ratner, Lahav Levi, Ofir Beigel, Aviv Zohar, Nimrod Gruber, Ofer Rotem, Nadav Ivgi, Eyal Hertzog, Ofir Dotan, Asaf Shoval, Guy Corem, Lior Uzan, Naama W. Tohar, Shalom Cohen, Matan Field, Judith Jakubovics, Libi Koren, Reuven Palatnik, and 10 others.

The talks will be given in Hebrew.

We would like to start the event at 19:00 sharp, so please make an effort to arrive on time, taking traffic into account. From 18:15 you'll have the opportunity to enjoy refreshments and socialize.

As always, the event will be recorded for those of us who can't attend. Parking is recommended at the nearby Azrieli Center (7 minutes walk, about 12 NIS for the entire night).
