INAUGURAL CONFERENCE ON THE EMERGING TOKEN-BASED ECONOMY

Token Summit was the first event that explored the economics, regulation and best practices around blockchain-based tokens, protocols, and crypto-assets. If you are an entrepreneur, investor, finance professional, lawyer, fund manager, regulator, or business executive, you should start paying attention to the emerging token-based economy, one that might rival the web in terms of potential innovation, new business models and entrepreneurial ideas that are yet to be deployed. Join us at this exclusive, intellectually-driven gathering, grouping the best minds in this space.
