EMPOWER

Energizing Bitcoin

March 30-31st, 2022 | Houston, TX

We're Bringing Bitcoin Mining to the Energy Capital of the World

Energy + Bitcoin Mining

Empower will be the first bitcoin mining event with a focus on energy — bringing together energy, mining, finance, and other professionals in the city that powers the world. We are shutting down the streets in Houston for an iconic two-day event at 8th Wonder Brewery, where you will get to learn and network with energy producers, capital groups, miners, and other builders in the space.

The Biggest Names on Stage

Bitcoin Mining has the potential to be one of the fastest-growing industries over the next decade. We’re bringing in the most forward-thinking names to speak on topics such as natural gas and renewable mining, power generation, venture capital, institutional adoption, regulatory, and more. There will be content tracks that everyone can learn from regardless of background or experience.

Outside of the Content

We’re big believers in getting smart people together and allowing collisions to happen — these collisions are the catalyst for ideas, collaboration, and progress. You will have the opportunity to hang out with other like-minded people in a fun environment with live music from Casey Donahew, tent parties, and free beer.
