About Bermuda Digital Finance Forum

Is a premier event bringing together global leaders in digital finance, blockchain technology, and artificial intelligence. Hosted by Penrose Partners, SALT, and the Decentralized AI Society (DAIS), the forum aims to drive the adoption of digital finance solutions and foster discussions on the future of decentralized infrastructure for financial services and AI applications. ​

A highlight of the forum is a special USDC airdrop on May 7, powered by Circle, allowing attendees to spend digital dollars at various local businesses, showcasing Bermuda's commitment to integrating digital currencies into everyday transactions. ​

While the forum primarily focuses on digital finance and AI, discussions on blockchain technology are integral, providing insights into its applications within the financial sector. ​
