​Like a monkey ready to be shot into space... AI × Crypto Expo hurls you straight to the bleeding edge, where neural networks barter on-chain and the future feels one firmware update away. Industry titans, VCs, scrappy founders, and code-slinging dreamers crowd the pavilion to swap moon-shots, demo mind-bending prototypes, and score the hands-on skills you’ll need to dominate tomorrow’s markets.

​Schedule:

​9:00 AM Doors Open & Registration

​9:00–10:00 Morning Networking & Coffee Networking Lounge

​10:00 – 11:00 AM - Keynote & Panel with Dr. Ralph C. Merkle
Legendary cryptography pioneer ( inventor of the Merkle Tree) and nanotech trailblazer lays out how nanobot can slash AI’s energy appetite, revive Moore’s Law, and redefine hardware design. Moore’s Law has been stretching its exponential arc for six decades—but where does the next doubling come from? Dr. Merkle makes the case that raw transistor shrinkage is running on borrowed time and that the future hinges on two breakthroughs: thermodynamically reversible logic and atomically precise manufacturing. Expect a deep-tech dive into how these twin advances could extend computational growth long after conventional lithography reaches its limits, opening a new frontier for energy-efficient, ultra-dense computing.

​2:00–3:00 PM Teaching the Future: What Humanoid Robotics Can Reveal About Human Potential

​As humanoid robots move from science fiction to factory floors, hospitals, and even our homes, one essential question arises: What does this technological shift reveal about us—and how should we prepare the next generation? In this keynote, robotics innovator/evangelist and education advocate Tennyson John explores how the evolution of humanoid robotics mirrors humanity’s deepest pursuits—adaptability, empathy, problem-solving, and purposeful design. Drawing from firsthand experience building advanced robotics systems and shaping real-world applications, Tennyson makes the case for why teaching robotics isn’t just about engineering—it’s about unlocking human potential. This talk bridges cutting-edge technology with classroom-ready insights, highlighting how practical robotics education at an early age can cultivate the curiosity, resilience, and creativity today’s students will need to thrive in a future filled with intelligent machines. Whether you’re an educator, technologist, policymaker, or parent—this session will challenge you to rethink what it means to teach the future.

​3:00–4:00 PM From Bitcoin to BitTensor—Why Decentralizing AI Is a Civic Imperative As AI becomes more powerful, the question isn’t just what it can do—but who controls it. In this talk, Eric Forst argues that decentralized AI is not just a technological evolution—it’s a civic necessity. Just as Bitcoin emerged as a response to the centralized control of global finance, decentralized AI stands as a crucial counterbalance to the increasing concentration of intelligence in the hands of a few corporations. Eric will explore how blockchain enables transparent, censorship-resistant AI systems with decentralized identity, verifiable inputs and outputs, and agentic commerce. He’ll highlight key players like Bittensor, Wire Network, metaProof, Morpheus, Think Protocol, Schelling AI, and Manifest AI, and explain how decentralized AI empowers creators to own and monetize the data that trains AI while maintaining privacy and resilience against authoritarian regimes and systems.
