El Salvador's National Bitcoin Office, led by Stacy Herbert and Max Keiser of Keiser Report fame, is hosting a series of Bitcoin events across the country this November. Five flagship gatherings form the official schedule, with plenty of side events hosted by the local community. Spread between November 10 and November 20, in the country that adopted bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, the lineup runs the gamut of adoption — from institutional capital to public squares, rodeo grounds, and beachside circular economies.

The Bitcoin Capital Summit opens the official program on November 10 at BINAES, the downtown library and technology center in San Salvador. Bitcoin Histórico runs November 11 and 12 at the National Palace and surrounding sites in the Centro Histórico. The Renaissance Rodeo follows on November 13 at Lake Ilopango. EmTech AI LATAM takes the stage November 18 and 19 at the Escuela Superior de Economía y Negocios, and the Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit closes the sequence on November 19 and 20 in El Zonte.

Bitcoin Capital Summit

The Bitcoin Capital Summit takes place on November 10 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at BINAES in San Salvador. Hosted by Luca Esposito of Blockstream Capital Partners in collaboration with the Bitcoin Office, the evening is framed around Bitcoin's institutional era, from treasury allocation to capital markets — a theme that has moved to the forefront of the industry as a growing number of public companies disclose bitcoin on their balance sheets.

The agenda opens with a welcome from Esposito, followed by a keynote from Sean Bill, former CIO of BSTR at Blockstream, and a panel on the institutional Bitcoin stack featuring Pierre Rochard, CEO of The Bitcoin Company, and Juan Diego Sol, Regional Manager for Central America at IBEX. A closing fireside with Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert rounds out the program, among other panels. Registration is free but requires approval through the official Luma page.

Bitcoin Histórico

Bitcoin Histórico runs November 11 and 12 across San Salvador's Centro Histórico, with keynotes delivered at the National Palace and live-streamed to giant LED screens on Plaza Gerardo Barrios, a setup that carries the main program beyond ticket holders to anyone passing through the historic square. Organized by the National Bitcoin Office, the conference focuses on Bitcoin, financial freedom, and El Salvador's transformation.

Tickets are sold exclusively in bitcoin at bitcoinhistorico.com, making the ticket purchase itself a hands-on use of the currency. The $350 Trailblazer Seat includes guaranteed seating, access to public sessions, tech demos, community meetups, and an invitation to the afterparty, while locals with a Salvadoran ID can purchase entry with the $21 Satoshi Chero ticket. At the highest tier, the $2,100 Genesis Crown Pass adds VIP seating inside the National Palace, fast-track entry, private lounge access with meals, an exclusive merch pack, and priority networking with keynote speakers.

All tiers include free admission to the Renaissance Rodeo the following day. Organizers have shared the promo codes CROWN15 and Cowboy21.

Renaissance Rodeo

The inaugural Renaissance Rodeo takes place on November 13 on the shore of Lake Ilopango. The event features bull riding, mutton busting, barrel racing, music, and barbecue, and is positioned as a celebration of Salvadoran cowboy culture and regenerative agriculture. Details and a waitlist are available at renaissance.rodeo, and holders of any Bitcoin Histórico ticket receive free admission.

EmTech AIAM

EmTech AI LATAM runs November 18 and 19 at the Escuela Superior de Economía y Negocios. EmTech is MIT Technology Review's long-running conference series on emerging technologies, and this edition marks its first Latin American staging. It is organized with Opinno and local partner C² Labs and supported by the Agencia Nacional de Inteligencia Artificial. The agenda covers moving artificial intelligence from pilots to production impact, governance, talent development, and technology trends. Its November 19 session overlaps with the first day of the Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit in El Zonte, giving attendees two official events to choose from that day. Coverage of the announcement is available via Diario El Salvador, and registration is open at emtechai-latam.com.

Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit

The Global Bitcoin Circular Economies Summit takes place November 19 and 20 in El Zonte, the beach community behind the Bitcoin Beach project, whose bitcoin-based local economy drew international attention in the run-up to the country's bitcoin law. Organized by Bitcoin Beach and the Federation of Bitcoin Circular Economies, this is the first public edition of the gathering. Previous events have been invite-only and have drawn top international talent focused on delivering the benefits of Bitcoin to the developing world.

Registration is through the official Bitcoin Beach summit page. Confirmed speakers include Jeremy Almond, Co-Founder and CEO of Paystand; Alexandra Navarro of Paystand; Gerardo Linares; and Evelyn Lemus. The program focuses on Bitcoin as everyday money, merchant adoption, education, and lessons from circular economies across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
