Silicon Valley '24—Coming live this summer!
A gathering of entrepreneurs, risk investors, thought leaders and scholars to discuss and debate how innovation can help address the world’s most pressing issues.
Join us at Silicon Valley ‘24
Voting Block USA announces its first annual gathering—Silicon Valley ‘24—to be held this summer at the Hoover Institution on the Stanford University campus. The show will also be broadcast live around the world. The event is sponsored by Draper Associates & Draper University and produced by Cryptonite Ventures.
Please fill out the brief form if you would like to be on our invite list!
The purpose of Silicon Valley ’24 is to bring together top Web3 entrepreneurs and investors with public policy thought-leaders to showcase the latest Web3 technologies and converse about what kind of economic and regulatory constructs best promote a more private, secure, efficient, and prosperous life for all.
The Cryptonite 300 top company winners for 2024 will also be honored at Silicon Valley ’24.
Established in 1919 and located on the Stanford campus, the Hoover Institution is a think tank that seeks to improve the human condition by promoting ‘ideas defining a free society,’—including personal privacy, economic liberty, the decentralization and localization of government, and safeguarding peace for all mankind.
