DAY 2
ICO: All You Need To Know

Let’s look beyond the hype – Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) have raised hundreds of million dollars in a remarkably short time frame, have removed geographical borders and conveyed liquidity as the greatest promise. What we are witnessing is one of the greatest drives forward that technology can bring to a venture financing system. But the emerging system has attracted an overflow of bad actors and this has stimulated questions about its trustworthiness and what its future application is. Join us for a deep dive to learn about ICOs and meet some of the most active players, financiers, international experts and attorneys. The future of finance has arrived – now how do YOU want to shape it?
