Our team shared their thoughts on the conference:

 Jonnie Dutton, Sales Consultant, attended the conference and said “The DigiAssets event was a fantastic selection of the leading financial crypto institutions. It was well balanced with different business types, leading to interesting conversations and plenty of knowledge sharing.”

 David Hillier, Senior Sales Consultant, commented “DigiAssets was well organised and attended with insightful panels. Compared to the DAS conference and Token2049 that I attended earlier this year, DigiAsset was more institutional heavy.”

 Tom Higgins, CEO & Founder, added “It was a pleasure to participate in DigiAssets and join some incredible industry experts on the market infrastructure panel. Gold-i isn’t solely for FX and this was a great event to show the market our authority in the digital asset space too.”
