26th May Wavesplatform and Digital October Education Center host Genesis Moscow Conference — major networking event for the leaders of international and Russian Blockchain communities.

For the first time ever, key figures of the international Blockchain community will gather in Moscow in order to exchange insights with Russian colleagues and answer any of their questions. This conference serves primarily as a platform for communication, networking, discussion and exchange of views on the development, implementation, application and regulation of Blockchain technology. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to communicate directly with the Blockchain masterminds, discuss prospects, convey their point of view, and perhaps to dispel some myths that still exist in the industry.

“Dealing with these cutting-edge and disruptive technologies, we can easily forget that building businesses is a very human endeavour. The technology is not an end in itself, it is a means to an end. As a leader in the blockchain space, Waves realises that you can’t go it alone. We wanted to give people the opportunity to meet with international experts, this is why we’ve decided to organize the first conference of it’s kind.” — says sasha ivanov, CEO Waves Platform and one of the organizers of the conference — “Blockchain is a connecting, democratising technology, but working solely online does not leverage that to best effect. There’s no substitute for building relationships, forging partnerships, collaborating on new projects for mutual benefit. And the best way to do that is to bring people together and learn from each other — peer to peer.”

«At the moment, the community is of an extremely decentralized structure — in my opinion, even too decentralized,» says Artem Tolkachev, Director and Head of Legal for Tech Group at Deloitte CIS, one of the leaders of the Russian Blockchain community. «However, as the technology evolves, the community evolves through personal development of the participants, most of whom are experiencing rapid professional growth.»

Genesis Moscow Conference is set to be attended by more than 500 people. The idea is to connect international and Russian Blockchain movers and shakers by offering a common platform for networking and exchanging insights. There will be eight top speakers altogether who will give a 45-minutes presentation followed by a 45-minutes Q&A session.

Digital October have already arranged several Blockchain-themed talks starring the likes of Vitalik Buterin and Sasha Ivanov as well as educational Blockchain workshops for entrepreneurs, enterprises, top managers and general public.

The language of the event is English.

Speakers:

  • Alexander Ivanov, founder and CEO of Waves Blockchain platform
  • Charlie Shrem, well-known American entrepreneur, Bitcoin pioneer and Blockchain visionary, former co-founder and CEO of BitInstant, Founder of the Bitcoin Foundation
  • Mika Lammi, Head of IoT Business Development at Kouvola Innovation Oy, the city of Kouvola owned business development company located in South-East of Finland
  • Paolo Taska, Economist specialising in P2P Financial System in FinTech. Senior Advisor of the Beihang Blockchain & Digital Society Laboratory in Beijing
