For the fourth consecutive year, the Porter Brothers present an evening where capital, policy and emerging technology meet behind closed doors — and where every ticket puts a blind athlete on the ice.
Where deals are closed, policy is shaped, and the most exclusive networks in blockchain and emerging technology are forged.
Washington Elite Press OfficeCocktail reception, closed-door summit, gala and after-party — under one roof in the centre of Manhattan.
Champagne on arrival and the introductions that matter, before the room sits down.
Off the record. Investors, policymakers and founders across energy, crypto, privacy, AI and space.
Dinner, the awards ceremony, and the night that runs until midnight.
The Gala is the flagship of Blockchain Week — UNGA Edition: twelve official events across ten days in Times Square, from a space-and-fashion opening to a closing concert for peace.
The Blockchain Week VIP Pass covers the full week including the Gala; individual nights are ticketed separately. Full program and speakers at blockchainweek.ai/program.
BitcoinPalooza closes Day Two of the flagship conference — a full night of live music, curated art, fashion presentations and conversation, produced by the same team and held in the same building. Now in its fourth year, and newly curated by Lara Moreno.
Artists, musicians and designers: submissions for the 2026 edition are open until September 4 — lara@bitcoinpalooza.nyc
Since launching the Washington Elite series, the Porter Brothers have built a reputation for bringing visionary investors, policymakers and innovators to the same table — from Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna to Times Square. Closed-door dealmaking. Global policy influence. The intersection of elite capital and emerging technology.
Empowering blind and visually impaired athletes through the fastest game on ice. Proceeds from every Washington Elite event fund adaptive sport.
