Permissionless Conference Organizers Aim to Secure Vice President Kamala Harris as Speaker

Permissionless, the DeFi conference taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah, is actively trying to secure Vice President Kamala Harris as a speaker, according to Decrypt. This is a major move by the conference organizers, who are looking to bring in a high-profile speaker to discuss the future of DeFi and its impact on the economy. Jason Yanowitz, co-founder of Blockworks, revealed that the list of people pushing for Harris to speak at the conference includes Mike Novogratz, the CEO of crypto financial services firm Galaxy Digital. Novogratz is a well-known figure in the crypto industry and has been a vocal supporter of DeFi. If Harris agrees to speak at the conference it would be a major coup for the organizers. It would also be a sign that the Biden administration is taking DeFi seriously and is willing to engage with the industry. The conference is scheduled to take place from October 9 to 11, 2023.
