SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM · 2026–2027 SEASON

The Problem

Conferences Are Expensive.
And Forgettable.

The institutional crypto industry spends millions on conferences every year. Here’s what that money buys.

$250K–$500K for true conference presence. Booth, speaking slot, branding.

2–3 days and then it’s over. No follow-up. No content. No compounding impact.

Thousands of people in a crowded, forgettable convention center. Everyone scanning badges. No one listening.

0 assets after the event. No clips, no recordings, no distribution.

Same audience you already know. Same panels. Same talking points. Every time.

What if the same budget bought 10 events, 12 months of recurring access, branded content, and real relationships?

The Alternative

Ten Nights That Shape
the Conversation.

Downtown Sessions is PubKey’s flagship institutional programming. A recurring series that puts your brand at the center of the finance-meets-Bitcoin conversation across two cities for an entire year.

Not a Conference

50–60 in New York. 150–500+ in DC. Decision-makers, not badge-scanners. Every attendee is there because they were invited or because they follow the series.

Curated • Intimate

Not a One-Off

Ten events over twelve months. Relationships compound. Your brand becomes associated with the conversation, not a single night.

Recurring • Compounding

Not Just a Room

Multi-camera production, same-week clip turnaround, livestream to thousands. Every event produces 20+ distributable content assets that extend reach far beyond the room.

Content • Livestream • Distribution
The Proof

We Built the Stage.
The Numbers Prove It.

PubKey has been building NYC’s Bitcoin community since late 2022. Three years. Two cities. The machine is humming.
