The CWC Speaker Index

A public, open directory of women who can speak on crypto. Free to use and free to join, with no gatekeeper standing between an organizer and a speaker. Browse it, contact anyone in it directly, and go.

It is also more than a list. Every woman in the index gets a profile that spells out exactly what she knows, media and presentation training, and a community of other speakers around her, including women taking a stage for the first time. Being findable and being ready are two different things, and the index is built for both.

13%
of speakers at the Bitcoin conferences were female presenting, down from around 17% in 2019.
DL News, July 2024
50%
of women declined a conference invitation, against 26% of men. The gap has two halves, and everyone only talks about one.
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2011
26%
of Consensus speakers in 2024 were identifiably women. Same industry, twice the number. It is a choice, not a shortage.
DL News, July 2024
These are the most recent counts available. Nobody has counted crypto conference lineups since 2024.

For organizers

A free, verified, filterable list of women who can speak on crypto, with their topics stated plainly. No fee, and no permission to ask.

  • Contact them directly. We do not sit in the middle
  • Filter by expertise, not by an A to Z of names
  • Every profile states what they speak on

Take the names. Just say where you found them. Crediting the index when you announce a speaker is how the next organizer finds the next one. It is the only thing we ask for.

For speakers

Insight is the qualification, not stage time. We want women who have never spoken before, and the most common sentence we hear is "I am not an expert yet."

  • A profile that spells out your expertise
  • A CWC feature across LinkedIn, Instagram and X
  • Media and presentation training, run quarterly
  • A speaker community, and active promotion to event organizers

Open to any woman working in or adjacent to crypto.

"We could not find any women" stops being a defensible sentence.

The index fixes the first half of the gap by making expertise findable, publicly and without a gatekeeper. The training and the community fix the second half by removing the reasons the answer is no.

Submit a speaker profile

Submission is open. We verify that someone works in or adjacent to crypto and that the expertise described is real. We check that a profile is accurate, not that a speaker is famous enough.
