Ideas, Freedom, and Community
The PBpass Conference 2025 gathered leading investors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries in Lugano to discuss freedom at all levels – from personal wealth to the boundaries of human longevity.
The agenda spanned the future of finance, new residency strategies, and how to preserve both assets and well-being in an ever-changing global landscape.

Inspiring Voices
Throughout the day, leading experts shared their insights on Bitcoin, personal sovereignty, and the evolution of global finance
Speakers included Paolo Barrai, Giacomo Zucco, Saifedean Ammous, Paolo Ardoino, Marc P. Bernegger, and many others — each adding a different perspective to a shared vision: building the foundations of a free financial future.
