13 for me. What about you?


They need a stage big enough for what they've built. 10 women confirmed for the Louvre this June. And we're just getting started. One manages $1.7 trillion. One served as CFTC Commissioner. One put J.P. Morgan's first deposit token on a public blockchain. One helped bring the Bitcoin ETF to market at BlackRock. This June they are all in the same room. We built a stage. The most qualified people in the industry showed up. Welcome @CarolineDPham, @emmalandriault1, @provenauthority, @giuliacfanti, Jenny Johnson, Jody Mettler, @KeliCallaghan, @maja0G, @SimoneMaini1, @TuongvyLe12. June 2–3.
