East-West Crypto Conference 2018

The East-West Crypto Conference (www.ewcc.io) will take place on October 22 and 23 and aims at building the bridge between the two largest blockchain ecosystems - Asia and Europe. Speakers include representatives from 5 out of the 20 cryptocurrencies with the highest market capitalization and 3 of the architects of the blockchain-friendly regulatory framework of Malta (Malta Blockchain Taskforce). The conference is organized, among others, by the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center and DLT Capital and addresses the latest technology developments, the different ecosystems, investment trends and regulatory frameworks in both realms.

At the East-West Crypto Conference best practices, current knowledge and the latest technological trends of already funded businesses in Asian and European markets and on local regulatory aspects will be showcased. It will not necessarily focus on ICO projects or early-stage startups. A detailed overview of our conference can also be found on our website: www.ewcc.io.
