In a shocking turn of events, the annual crypto conference Consensus has been relocated to the bustling metropolis of Gary, Indiana, and will feature none other than the hologram of beloved children’s television host Mr. Rogers as its keynote speaker.
Why Gary, why?
According to conference organizers, the decision to move the event to Gary was made in order to “shake things up a bit” and “bring some much-needed attention to this oft-overlooked gem of a city.”
Attendees can expect a jam-packed schedule of talks and panels covering everything from blockchain technology to the future of decentralized finance. But the real highlight, of course, will be Mr. Rogers’ hologram, which will take the stage on the final day of the conference.
Kindness is the keynote
“We’re thrilled to have Mr. Rogers with us, even in hologram form,” said conference organizers. “He was a beloved figure who always emphasized the importance of kindness and empathy, and those are values that we think are especially relevant in the world of crypto.”
Consensus on new Consensus? Good!
Reaction to the news has been mixed, with some industry insiders expressing excitement at the prospect of hearing from Mr. Rogers once again, while others have criticized the decision to hold the conference in Gary, which has long struggled with economic decline and crime.
But for those who are willing to take a chance on this unconventional location, the Consensus conference promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience. So pack your bags and head to Gary, where the future of finance and the spirit of Mr. Rogers await.
