Dash, a leading payments-focused digital currency, is going to host its first-ever conference, the Dash Conference, on September 24 at the Oval Space in London, UK.

The conference will serve as the precursor to the highly anticipated World Blockchain Forum, scheduled to take place on September 25-26, and showcase major integrations and reveal new business partnerships. Around 350 people are expected to attend the conference.

The Dash Conference will cover a wide range of topics including blockchain scalability, governance, regulation, consumer adoption, serving the unbanked, masternode operations, and commercial application. Keynote speeches and panel sessions will also focus on Dash’s path to becoming the future of instant, global payments, the upcoming launch of Evolution, the Dash Debit Card, and the research and hardware tech branch, Dash Labs.

“The Dash Conference will be an incredible opportunity to inform some of the most important people in blockchain, business, finance, and technology on the ways we are bringing digital currency out of its niche and into the world of the everyday consumer,” CEO of Dash Core, Ryan Taylor said.

Keynote speakers include CEO of Dash Core Ryan Taylor and Dash Founder & Strategy Advisor Evan Duffield. Other confirmed speakers include Dash Core Team UI/UX Developer, Chuck Williams; Dash Core Team Business Developer, Daniel Diaz; Dash Core Team Legal, Fernando Gutierrez; Karen Hsu, Head of Growth, BlockCypher.

Both the Dash Conference and World Blockchain Forum are coordinated by Keynote, the world-leader in blockchain events.

“Right now is a critical moment for Dash. As one of the top cryptocurrencies, it is entering a crucial phase in its development. In the last six months the currency has dramatically increased in visibility. With rising acceptance from vendors and shoppers, alongside more regulatory scrutiny, and fluctuations in value. It’s at this time, more than ever before, that the Dash Core community is needed to ensure a prosperous and well-balanced future for the currency. The Dash Conference was created to draw this community together, now ranging from enthusiasts to financial institutions, and to provide an open and hard-hitting forum for moving the currency forward. Keynote couldn't be more excited to be organizing the conference,” Founder and CEO of Keynote, Moe Levin said.
