According to CoinDesk, the first day of Consensus 2024 will be followed by a series of afterparties and events on Wednesday, May 29. CoinDesk will host its official Consensus Opening Party across three venues, starting with free drinks at Reina Rooftop, moving to 10/10 Tacos, and ending at the Roma nightclub.

From 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Superstate and Huma Finance will host a cocktail party at Keiretsu, a global angel investor network in Austin's South Congress district. Concurrently, CME Group and FalconX will host a networking reception at The Tipsy Alchemist until 8:30 p.m. Both events are free with an RSVP.

For those preferring a sit-down conversation, the Verus Community Dinner Party at the Fairmont Austin offers a locally sourced, organic, sustainable dinner, top-shelf cocktails, live music, and great company. The event is first come first serve and only for Consensus badge holders.

The Crypto Comedy and Epic DJ Afterparty, hosted by Expert DOJO and Alpha Transform, will run from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. at the Empire Control Room & Garage.

Both events end at 2 a.m. and are on a first come, first serve basis.

TRON is hosting a soiree at the Four Seasons hotel, which overlooks a scenic section of the Colorado River. The event is pitched as an exclusive evening of luxury for an elite gathering of web3 industry leaders and innovators, with limited seating.
