The City of Lugano, Tether and Plan ₿ Forum Release New Batch of Tickets to Expand Access to Local Builders, Bitcoin Enthusiasts and Students

The Plan ₿ Forum organizers, partners and sponsors announce a new batch of subsidized tickets for its highly-anticipated event to bring more access to people who want to learn about the potential of bitcoin.

September 2, 2022 – Today, The City of Lugano, Tether and organizers of the Plan ₿ Forum announced the release of a new batch of tickets on the heels of unveiling the latest headlining speakers that will join the Forum on the 28th and 29th of October at Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano. These tickets will bring financial education to the next wave of Bitcoin adopters. 

The batch will be offered to bitcoin enthusiasts, builders and students so that they will be able to see on stage for the first time a world-class list of presenters that include Stella Assange, lawyer and wife of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Gabriel Shipton, film producer and brother of Julian Assange, and many more.

The new batch of tickets made possible through generous donations from the Plan ₿ organizers and sponsors, is offered on a first come, first served basis, and sees the prices reduced as follows: Student passes from CHF199 to CHF99, General tickets from CHF399 to CHF199, and All-Access passes from CHF999 to CHF699. 

This is prompted by the strong wave of interest from members of the public and the community following the latest speaker announcement, expressing a wish to attend and hear first-hand from influential leaders as they discuss financial freedom and inclusion, and freedom of speech.

“While most Crypto conferences are actual for-profit events, Lugano's Plan ₿ forum aims to focus on accessibility for everyone. We are grateful to the organizers, sponsors and partners that made this price reduction possible.” said Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Tether. “We believe that the first step towards freedom is education and we are dedicated to providing these opportunities to those who have been forgotten by traditional financial institutions.”

“Today, thanks to a major effort by organizers and private sponsors, we can make the Plan ₿ Forum event even more accessible, popular and affordable. This has been made possible thanks to a participative and democratic approach, the same one that underpins the Bitcoin ecosystem and that day after day, continues to amaze and fascinate me,” said Michele Foletti, Mayor of the City of Lugano.

The Plan ₿ Forum will bring together some of the most influential leaders such as Milena Mayorga, ambassador of El Salvador to the United States, Fadi Elsalameen, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, and Farida Bemba Nabourema, human rights activist and founder of the "Faure Must Go" movement in Togo, to discuss the true impact and potential of decentralized technologies. 

Ticket availability is limited and participants can purchase their passes via the Plan ₿Forum website
