The CfC St. Moritz, a highly curated digital assets and blockchain conference for investors and decision-makers, returns to the Suvretta House, St. Moritz, Switzerland, from the 10th to 12th of January 2024.

Nicolo Stöhr, CEO of The CfC St. Moritz, said, “The central goal of The CfC St. Moritz is to bring together the brightest minds from both the traditional finance and crypto industries and provide an unrivaled setting for education, connection, and collaboration. During the conference, attendees organically exchange views and insights on industry developments, connect with fellow high-net-worth individuals, and fuel impactful collaborations. Deep in the heart of the Swiss Alps, guests are granted an opportunity to recalibrate and prepare for the year ahead. As the first major industry conference for the year, the CfC St. Moritz will set the agenda for what is to come in crypto and finance in 2024.”
Each year, through an extensive array of panels and bespoke activities, the CfC St. Moritz addresses the most pressing topics impacting the world of digital assets and finance. Last year, on-stage conversations covered trending developments such as DeFi, the metaverse, and brand adoption of web3. This year, industry leaders will discuss key themes such as institutional adoption, industry regulation, sustainability, and breakthrough technologies impacting the space.
Staci Warden, CEO of the Algorand Foundation, said, “Facilitated by the CfC St. Moritz, the convergence of many of the industry’s most influential individuals prompts meaningful collaboration at the outset of the new year. We are delighted to return as the premier sponsor for the CfC St. Moritz, furthering the advancement of this uniquely influential event. The collection of minds in such a picturesque setting matched with unparalleled networking opportunities encapsulates the spirit of collaboration that is central to the convergence and benefit of the traditional and decentralized economies.”
Each year, the CfC St. Moritz attracts a maximum of 250 carefully selected international investors, family offices, funds, and decision-makers from both the traditional and the new world of finance in the picturesque Swiss Alps. For three days, opinion leaders and high-ranking representatives from governmental and supranational bodies, the private sector, academia and decentralized organizations exchange their knowledge on digital assets, blockchain and traditional finance.
