Events
Good policy gets built in rooms where industry, institutions, and lawmakers are actually in the same place. These are the rooms the council has convened, first as WBBC and now as WDBC, and the coalitions it has joined.
Convening power
Why we put people in a room
Policy gets better when the people who write it hear from the people it governs. Our forums put founders, institutions, and public officials in one room, in public and on the record.
Where we have been
Wisconsin Digital Policy Forum
An evening at the Milwaukee County Historical Society built around the WIN Bill (the Office of Financial Technology Innovation Act) as the cornerstone digital policy for the session. The program paired a founder showcase demonstrating blockchain’s real-world impact in Wisconsin communities with a policy panel, “The WIN Bill: Advancing Digital & Financial Innovation.”
GBBC Blockchain Central DC 2025
WBBC represented Wisconsin at the Global Blockchain Business Council’s flagship Washington convening, carrying the state’s creator economy and builder community into the national conversation.
CLARITY Act sign-on letter
WBBC joined the Stand With Crypto Wisconsin chapter in signing a letter to Senator Ron Johnson supporting the CLARITY Act, which passed the House 294–134. Clear market-structure rules are a precondition for Wisconsin’s digital-asset businesses to grow.
Wisconsin’s Digital Asset Policy Forum
A statewide convening on digital-asset policy, bringing the conversation out of Madison and Milwaukee and into central Wisconsin.
What comes next
Our 2027 program follows the two priorities on the agenda: putting the GENIUS Act to work in Wisconsin, and the rules AI runs on, starting with a privacy law Wisconsin businesses can follow. Both deserve open, on-the-record public discussion. Members help shape the program and get the invitation first.
