THIRD CONFERENCE ON THE EMERGING TOKEN-BASED ECONOMY

SCHEDULE

VENUE

Token Summit III New York is the 3rd event in the Token Summit series, the first conference that explored in-depth the Token-Based Economy in May 2017. In New York again in May 2018, we will continue to discuss the economics, regulation and best practices around blockchain-based tokens, protocols, and crypto-assets. Specifically, our focus is on Designing Token-Based Economies, and succeeding at creating value for users. 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. Token Summit is the real insiders summit, and is brought to you by William Mougayar and Nick Tomaino.
This year, Token Summit is working in co-ordination with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCED) as part of Blockchain Week NYC.
