DeFi Coffee Break is a small, informal morning gathering taking place on May 21, 2026, in Milan during ETH Milan week. It is designed as a low-key alternative to the conference circuit — no agenda, no slides, no pitches. Just coffee and conversation among roughly 50 people who actively use DeFi protocols for lending, borrowing, yield farming, and position management. The format is deliberately open-ended. Attendees are expected to talk honestly about what is working in DeFi right now, what they are watching, and where they think things are heading. It suits active DeFi users who want candid peer discussion rather than staged panels or sponsored content.
