Bettina Warburg Keynote Speaker

Bettina Warburg is a leading investor, researcher, and speaker on Web3, blockchain and emerging technologies. Her distillations of these complex topics are often used by university programs, executives, and major conferences as foundational explanations.

She continues to engage with veteran Layer 1 teams and new crypto-native entrepreneurs building out the future of our technology stack. Bettina also offers advisory work with select companies trying to onboard Web3 tooling and the entrepreneurs working to shape it.

She was one of the first speakers to unpack the topic of blockchain to a global audience for TED. Bettina also previously collaborated with WIRED magazine to explain blockchain at 5 levels, which has been widely viewed by millions of people.

Bettina has given talks and helped curate conferences such as World Government Summit, DLD Munich, IBM Think, The Business Council, Smart City Expo, Skoll World Forum, Salzburg Global Seminar, Personal Democracy Forum, and numerous universities around the world.

Her work has been cited in publications such as The Atlantic, Barbican, Center for Public Impact, ICMA.org, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
