# The Ultimate Crypto List for Event Planners, Influencers and the Like

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*EZk40FSSOPa6ddDVG-1dJg.jpeg)

With Consensus going on in New York and this article brought back to my attention recently, wanted to take the time to share this article by Michelle Tsng as a great resource that others have asked me about from time to time so here it is.  Also in support of many women in the blockchain and have to pleasure to know and have met many listed here and find that they are skilled and talented.

Intro: For the six (6) years when I was at PayPal, bringing PayPal to ubiquity while mitigating risk, our legal team consisted of a majority of women. We spent many hours educating businesses on the ins and outs of PayPal — both men and women.

Recently however, I attended a few crypto, blockchain and ICO conferences, and I saw minimal to no women on panels. Moreover, accordingly to Crypto Weekly, there are only 8 women in The 100 Most Influential People in Crypto List. Are women not in the blockchain space? If they are, are they not influential? Do they not want to speak on panels?

I decided to conduct the experiment myself, and here’s what I found.
<ul>
<li>Many women would like to speak on panels</li>
<li>Many women would like to be recognized</li>
<li>Many women are qualified to speak in the crypto, blockchain and ICO space</li>
<li>Many women are recommended by men</li>
</ul>

Thus, this list is made (with love) for event planners, influencers and the like — both men and women (and AI) — who desire to create an inclusive future for humans, who build panels and draft lists that are reflective of the community they are a part of, who respect each person for who they are.

In the spirit of decentralization and self-empowerment, I deliberately made this list open source so that you could copy and paste the list anywhere with a link to the original source under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike. I also intentionally un-rank the list to foster collaboration within the community. Instead, the list is alphabetized. Finally, I purposefully included each person’s LinkedIn profile so a LinkedIn presence could be visually seen.

It is my expectation to see thought leaders on this list on panels, in the media, and much much more.
