NiceHash, the global leader in hashrate marketplaces, is all set to make waves in Europe with NiceHashX, the premier Bitcoin-focused conference in Maribor, Slovenia. Themed “Bitcoin Conference on the Sunny Side of the Alps,” the conference will be held on November 8-9, 2024, coinciding with the company’s ten-year anniversary.
With the event set in scenic Maribor, NiceHashX aims to position Slovenia as a critical European Bitcoin hub.
What’s So Special About Maribor?
For those unfamiliar with Maribor, Slovenia’s second-largest city, it’s a hidden gem that’s about to take the Bitcoin spotlight. Nestled among the Pohorje Mountains and surrounded by lush vineyards, Maribor’s landscape combines natural beauty with a thriving cultural scene, giving it the perfect mix for tech and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The city, often overlooked on the blockchain map, boasts more than 1,000 businesses already accepting Bitcoin payments, underscoring Slovenia’s high adoption rates.
Slovenia may be small, but it’s a major player in Europe’s crypto sphere. Not only is it home to the Satoshi monument and BTC City (a popular Bitcoin-friendly shopping complex in the capital city of Ljubljana), but it’s also second only to Switzerland in blockchain startups per capita. The conference’s location is not just scenic; it’s strategic, providing attendees with a firsthand look at how Maribor is fostering innovation and becoming a growing Bitcoin hub in Europe.
Maribor, recently named one of the Best European Destinations to visit this autumn, is not only known for its stunning landscapes and rich history but is also the proud host of the upcoming NiceHashX Bitcoin Conference on November 8-9.

Conference Highlights
NiceHashX promises a packed agenda of influential speakers, compelling discussions, and hands-on demos that will cater to everyone from crypto newcomers to seasoned Bitcoin enthusiasts. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can look forward to:
Top-Tier Speakers
Industry experts and thought leaders from across the globe will grace the stage, including economist Saifedean Ammous, Bitcoin security specialist Jameson Lopp, producer of the “Dirty Coin” documentary Alana Mediavilla, Chief Strategy Officer at JAN3 Prince Filip Karađorđević, and BTC Prague conference co-founder Martin Kuchař. This lineup will share insights on Bitcoin’s trajectory, mining, regulation, and the European crypto landscape.
Diverse Stages and Events
Attendees can explore various themes on three main stages, which include a Workshop Stage for hands-on learning, a Slovenian Stage for regional Bitcoin insights, and the Main Stage for high-level panels. With over 1,000 participants expected, NiceHashX offers a unique opportunity for networking, hands-on workshops, and deep-dives into Bitcoin’s impact on the European market. Plus, attendees can unwind with exclusive after-party events featuring a live set by renowned DJ Claptone!
Chance to See Bitcoin in Action
NiceHash will debut its Bitcoin payment solution, NiceHash Pay, in collaboration with local merchants across Maribor. Conference-goers will get to test out this payment method both at the venue and at participating businesses throughout the city. This initiative offers a glimpse into a future where Bitcoin is a daily currency, not just an investment.
Why NiceHashX Is a Must-Attend
With discussions on regulation, sustainable mining, and the latest exchange practices, NiceHashX dives deep into the topics shaping the future of Bitcoin. As regulatory landscapes shift across Europe, conversations on compliance and innovation are critical for miners, developers, and investors alike. Attendees will also gain insights into the European energy scene as it relates to Bitcoin mining—a hot topic as countries seek sustainable mining solutions amidst the energy-intensive demands of crypto mining.
NiceHash’s contribution to Bitcoin adoption is unparalleled, and with a decade under its belt, the company continues to set new standards. As the world’s largest hashrate marketplace, NiceHash has fostered Bitcoin adoption globally by creating a user-friendly, efficient mining marketplace, now complemented by NiceHash Pay and fully automated Lightning payouts for miners.
