Everything you need to know.
01What is The Sovereign Summit?
Two days in Miami Beach where Money, AI, and Energy stop being separate conversations and start being one. Built for people who already sense these things are connected but haven’t had a room where they’re treated as equals.
We do it in a resort, not a convention center, on purpose. When everyone is staying, eating, and drinking in the same place, the conference doesn’t end when the session does. That’s the design, not a happy accident.
What’s inside:
- A big open main stage
- An expo floor with companies and organizations that care about sovereignty
- A Workshops Area with breakout sessions and hands-on workshops
- An Open Source Area for nonprofits, community builders, and small businesses
- VIP Areas exclusively for VIP Summit Pass holders
Come away with a clearer picture of where the world is going, the people making it happen, and connections that last well beyond the event.
02Who is this for?
For people who are curious to learn more about the world around them and better understand how quickly things are changing.
Builders, founders, investors, and researchers. People who work in energy, AI, finance, or policy and sense that what’s happening in the other rooms matters to their room too. People who are new to these ideas and want the honest version, not the sales pitch. People who have been in them for years and want to think bigger.
You don’t need to be an expert in any particular field. You just need to be genuinely curious about at least one of them and open to where the others take you.
03How is this different from other conferences?
Most conferences start with the right idea and drift. Sponsors come from finance and trading, so the program fills up with price predictions and product panels. It’s not wrong, but it’s not the whole picture. The ideas that matter, sound money, energy, freedom, individual sovereignty, get crowded out by whatever fills the most seats and sells the most sponsorships.
Size and venue matter more than most organizers admit. Too small and it’s a meetup. Too big and it’s a trade show with fifteen competing stages and a convention hall that swallows the program. We chose an integrated resort on purpose. The setting keeps everyone in the same place, long after the last session ends.
The right size. The right venue. The right topics. Curated enough to be worth your time, big enough to matter.
04This is the first year. Why should I trust it?
Fair question. Inaugural events live or die on curation, not scale, and curation is exactly what we are obsessing over: the speakers, the venue, the format, the sponsors, the crowd.
What we can tell you is who is involved, what we’re building, and why we think it’s worth showing up for. The speaker lineup, the venue, and the program will speak for themselves as they come together. Follow along and make your own call.
What we will promise: every sponsor in the room is here because they’re aligned with what this conference stands for. We chose them carefully, and that same standard applies to every part of the program.
05Are breakfast and lunch provided?
Yes. Food and beverages will be available throughout the summit, so you can stay energized and focused on the experience.
With approximately 1,000 attendees on property, meals will be designed to make pickup quick, convenient, and easy to enjoy between sessions.

06What’s in a Summit Pass?
Full access to both days of the summit. Every mainstage session, the expo floor, the Workshops Area, and the Open Source Area. Food and drink on site during summit hours, including a light breakfast and boxed lunch.
The Summit Pass is the full conference experience, with the exception of VIP Areas and VIP-only events.
Summit Pass holders can add Bitcoin Fundamentals (Thursday), the Summit After Party (Saturday), and the Farewell Brunch (Sunday) at checkout. More events will be announced as we get closer to February.
07What does the VIP Summit Pass include?
Everything in the Summit Pass, plus a lot more. Reserved front-row seating. A dedicated VIP area on the 3rd floor for the duration of the summit. And three events that are the real reason people upgrade.
The Thursday Welcome Reception kicks the weekend off with only the VIPs before the conference opens. The Friday Oceanfront Soiree is another VIP only night and another opportunity to mingle with the speakers, sponsors, and other like-minded people. The Saturday Summit After Party closes it out the right way with a fun big closing party.
The VIP Summit Pass is capped at 200 people. At that size, you will meet everyone who matters. That’s the point.
08What about side events?
Side events are where a lot of the magic happens. They run before, during, and after the main conference days and range from intimate dinners and workshops to larger evening events. Some are included with your ticket and some are available to purchase separately.
Think of them as the unofficial official program. The conversations that start on the main stage tend to continue at the side events, often with the same speakers in a much smaller room.
The VIP Welcome Reception and the VIP Oceanfront Soiree aren’t side events. They’re part of the VIP Summit Pass.
Check out the Events & Experiences page for the current lineup. More will be announced as we get closer to February.
09What’s the refund and transfer policy?
Full refunds through December 1, 2026. Free transfers through January 28, 2027, no questions asked.
All refunds are issued as cash value. Tickets purchased with Bitcoin will be refunded based on the fiat value of the original purchase price.
Life happens. If your situation changes and neither option works, email us and we’ll figure it out.
10Can I pay in Bitcoin?
Yes, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. On-chain and Lightning both work. Lightning settles fastest.
11Where should I stay?
Stay on property. The conference is built around the Fontainebleau and that’s where most of the action happens, on and off the clock. Click here for our preferred-rate room block. For off-property options, Victoire Voyages can help with suggestions, rates, and perks.
12What’s the dress code?
There isn’t one, but dress for where you might end up. Pool attire at the pool. What you’d normally wear at a conference for your role. Something decent for Miami nights that could go anywhere. After all, LIV is at the Fontainebleau. Miami in February is warm but not hot, so check the forecast before you pack.
13Dietary needs, accessibility, or quiet spaces?
The Fontainebleau is fully ADA-accessible. For anything else: dietary restrictions, nursing rooms, prayer space, quiet areas, or anything that helps you have a good experience, email us early. The earlier you let us know, the more likely we’ll be able to accommodate your needs.
14Can I bring kids to the summit?
Yes. Kids are welcome to attend The Sovereign Summit with a parent or guardian.
Every attendee needs a paid ticket, regardless of age. Children attending the Summit will need a Summit Pass, and children attending VIP areas or VIP-only events will need a VIP Summit Pass.
Please email info@thesovereignsummit.com with any questions.
Miami Beach in February is also a great place to bring the family and spend a few extra days before or after the Summit.
15Will sessions be recorded or streamed?
Sessions will be recorded and released after the event. We’re still finalizing whether any sessions will be streamed live. Subscribe below and you’ll be the first to know.
16What’s the code of conduct?
Treat people the way you’d want to be treated. That covers speakers, staff, and fellow attendees.
Photos are welcome, but please don’t photograph other attendees without their permission. Recording on your mobile device is fine, but professional video or recording equipment is not permitted unless you’re approved press or media.
Harassment of any kind will result in immediate removal from the event without a refund. This is a private event, and we reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone whose presence conflicts with the spirit of the room.
17Interested in sponsoring?
We work with a small number of partners whose product or company genuinely belongs in front of this room. If that sounds like you, start here.
18Still have questions?
