What They’re Saying About FBBS

The Florida Bitcoin & Blockchain Summit is getting noticed. Here is just a sample of what the media has to say about this one-of-a-kind event…

About Us

Like many things in the Bitcoin & Digital Asset community, the origins of this event came from a seed of an idea.

Event organizer Chris Krimitsos has been passively involved in the Bitcoin community for some time and has wanted to lend his gifts to this movement in a way that could be beneficial to all. As the founder of PODFEST, one of the world’s largest podcasting conferences, he felt he could do more for this community.

For this year’s FBBS, Chris has teamed up with collaborators like Samuel Armes of the FLORIDA BLOCKCHAIN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION & TORTUGA WEB3 FUND; Gabe Higgins & Rosa Shores, Founders of BLOCKSPACES, one of Florida’s oldest bitcoin meetups; and Joe Hamilton, Founder of ST. PETE CATALYST & CITYVERSE. It is our firm belief that the relationships and the wisdom created at this pioneering event will have a far-reaching impact within this space.
