CoinDesk Consensus 2019: Exclusive NYC Tech Event Photography Archives

Consensus 2019 brought the world's most influential voices in finance to the New York Hilton Midtown, marking a pivotal era for digital assets. Tasked with documenting the summit for CoinDesk, I captured the defining moments of the three-day event as the NYC tech landscape reached a fever pitch. This series offers an inside look at the high-stakes keynotes and panels that shaped the industry—featuring the innovation of Brian Armstrong, the vision of Joseph Lubin, and the strategic presence of Andrew Yang on the Manhattan stage.

Navigating a massive, multi-track summit like Consensus requires a technical approach that balances fast-paced editorial coverage with high-end brand consistency. As a dedicated event photographer in NYC, I focused on freezing the energy of the main stage while maintaining the quiet, professional intimacy of the VIP lounges and executive roundtables. Coindesk as a result was ensured the high-velocity energy of the city's tech scene that was translated into premium commercial assets.
