Trump to Headline Exclusive Crypto Conference at Mar-a-Lago
Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to be the headline speaker at a highly restricted crypto and business conference on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The event, promoted as “The Most Exclusive Crypto and Business Conference in the World,” will feature a gala luncheon and keynote remarks from Trump alongside 18 other prominent figures. Attendance is capped at 297 individuals, with registration available through the event’s official channel.

The top 29 participants on this leaderboard will receive VIP privileges, which include a private reception with Trump, a specialized talk on the history of Mar-a-Lago, and premium seating during the main event. This model ties access directly to financial commitment to the specific meme coin.
