The official companion app for the Midwest Bitcoin Summit — September 23–24, 2026 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. Everything you need for two days on the floor, in one place. BUILD YOUR AGENDA Browse the full two-day program by track, stage, and time. Bookmark the sessions you care about and keep your personal schedule with you, so you always know what's next and where it is. FIND EVERY SPEAKER Over 100 speakers across policy, mining and energy, self-custody, lending, education, and more. Search by name or topic, read full bios, and jump straight from a speaker to the sessions they're on. MEET THE SPONSORS Thirty-plus sponsors and exhibitors, grouped by tier, each with a profile, category, and booth number — so you can plan your route through the business hall instead of wandering it. NETWORK WITH A SCAN Every attendee has a QR badge. Scan one with your camera to exchange details instantly — no paper, no typing, no lost business cards. Sponsors and exhibitors can capture leads the same way and review them later. BOOK MEETINGS Request a meeting, pick a time, and choose a spot from the venue's real meeting tables and lounges. Confirmed meetings land on your schedule alongside your sessions. MESSAGE ATTENDEES Follow up with the people you met without handing over your personal phone number. NAVIGATE THE VENUE An interactive floor plan with pinch-to-zoom shows stages, the business hall, and booth locations. YOUR PROFILE, YOUR CALL Choose whether your profile is public, visible to verified attendees only, or hidden from the directory entirely. Change it at any time, and delete your account and all of its data from inside the app whenever you want. WORKS WHEN THE ROOM DOESN'T Convention centre Wi-Fi is convention centre Wi-Fi. The app keeps your bookmarks and profile on device and tells you plainly when it can't reach the network, with a one-tap retry. Midwest Bitcoin Summit brings together builders, miners, policymakers, educators, and investors from across the Midwest and beyond. This app is how you get the most out of being in the room.
