In order to secure the future of the industry, it is our responsibility to ensure that startups are familiar with the regulatory framework and investors are protected,” said Nicolai Oster, Head of ICO at Bitcoin Suisse.

According to the official release, the event will tackle some of the most discussed issues in the industry, including how blockchain is disrupting traditional financing, the evolution of the token economy, and the best practices for ICO execution.
