Have you had “deploy a stablecoin” and “build an AI agent” on your business to-do list since the beginning of the year?
You know these technologies will create business efficiencies, but finding the time to really get a grasp, a hands-on grasp, of these solutions has proved hard to find. You might even feel like you’re falling behind.
Not for long, you hard-working department head.
CoinDesk is launching the School of Stablecoins and Agentic Commerce at its upcoming Consensus 2026 conference, happening May 5-7 in Miami. These programs include interactive sessions with expert hosts leading you through the biggest cost-saving stablecoin use cases and the easiest implementations of AI agents that can lighten your workload and maybe even secure some big-time bets.
These sessions are for finance and product leaders, operators and entrepreneurs, and executive teams navigating what’s next.
Each workshop has plenty of complements on CoinDesk’s program of keynotes, fireside chats and panel discussions, allowing you to take the big picture insights and turn them into concrete tools you can take back to your team.
Take payments for example. During the “Stablecoins Go Global” panel discussion, you get inspired to adopt USDC in your business. But where do you practically start? “Setting Up a Stablecoin Wallet and Dashboard” hosted by Circle on the University workshop stage.
Or consider AI agents. After hearing the conversation at the “Agents Meet the Enterprise” panel, you want someone to give you a step-by-step tutorial on setting up OpenClaw and writing killer prompts that 10x your efficiency. We’ve got you covered.
Over the course of the three-day show, you’ll get workflow walkthroughs, product demos, and actionable insights for becoming your company’s crypto and AI guy or gal. And that’ll come in handy given these aren’t just niche tools for tech fanatics, or even just the intersection of DeFi and TradFi; these are products and services that every user and business can benefit from.
In this current era of unprecedented innovation and change, CoinDesk University is the place to learn from the visionaries and developers actually building these tools. You’re getting your education directly from the source with these powerful sessions.
Take a look at our current schedule of University workshops here. You’ll be favoriting all these to your schedule.
