MoneroTopia 2023 [May 6th and 7th, 2023]
Mark your calendars and pack your bags, because MoneroTopia 2023 is set to take the stage in sunny Mexico on May 6th and 7th, 2023. But the festivities don’t stop there—kick off the conference with a welcome party on May 5th. This two-day crypto event is not for traditional finance people; it’s exclusively tailored for those who crave privacy and seek freedom from centralised currency control.
Conference Info

The venue of MoneroTopia is at the Huerto Roma Verde (Community Center) which is located at address- Jalapa 234, Roma Sur, Cuauhtémoc, 06760 Cuauhtemoc, CDMX, Mexico.
Along with the conference there will be workshops on privacy lead by professors- Csilla Brimer (Privacy advocate.
