Data Privacy: A Fight for Our Future:

• Taking Back Control: Another hot-button topic takes center stage in “Our Biggest Fight: Taking Charge of our Data, Our Lives, Our Society” (3:00 PM CDT, Mainstage). This panel delves into data privacy concerns and how decentralized technology can empower individuals to reclaim control of their information.

Crypto in the Campaign Spotlight:

• Crypto Entrepreneur Turned Political Insurgent: With the Ohio Senate race shaping up to be a major battleground for the crypto industry, Bernie Moreno, a Republican challenger and blockchain startup founder, takes the Money Reimagined Stage at 3:20 PM CDT. Expect to hear insights on comprehensive crypto legislation and the challenges currently faced by the industry.

A Unique Metaverse Showdown (Ticketed Event):

• Beyond Panels and Networking: Looking for something a little different? Consensus offers a unique ticketed event: Karate Combat (7:00 PM CDT, Ballroom A). Here, Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland laces up his gloves for a fight against Web3 Breakfast Club founder Justin Custardo. The proceeds could potentially help McFarland settle his outstanding debts.
