The articles are long and technical — a real treat for those of you tech-enthusiasts!

Sukhi Jutla at the London Blockchain Summit 2018
Publica’s Author Advisor, Sukhi Jutla, returned to the Olympia Hall in London, where Publica, earlier this year, attended the London Book Fair, to speak on the panel named “How ICOs are Revolutionising Start-Up Funding” at the London Blockchain Summit on Wednesday, 27th June.
The conference was attended by over 4000 people with over 100 events over the 2 days.
The room where Sukhi spoke was filled to the brim roughly 200 people attended the panel!
Sukhi talked on the panel about how ICOs are revolutionising the start up funding scene. Sukhi talked about how authors are now operating as start-ups and can use ICOs as a source of start up funding support
The audience were amazed when Sukhi reminded them that the ebooks they buy from amazon and other stores don’t belong to them- you purchase only the license to read them- you don’t own them. Sukhi emphasised that Publica allows you to own your book and even better — gift copies away and buy multiple copies. Many had no idea authors could do book ICOs and said it would change the publishing landscape
Busy as a bee, Sukhi will also be attending the Data-driven Technologies event hosted by AnitaB.org and WomenInDataScience as the author of the first book on blockchain and a Rising Star winner this year — she will present a talk on distributed ledger technology for creatives. An evening of talks on new trends in data science methods and applications next Tuesday, the 3d of July.

Well, that is about it for this week! Thanks for all the support and keep being awesome! More great things are on the horizon!
Publica.com is the first publishing platform to use blockchain technology to innovate how books are funded, distributed, bought, and read.
