BEF Davos 2019: World Economists to Set Ground Rules for the Future Decentralized Financial System
January 24-26, 2019 – Davos, Switzerland
LATOKEN – the #1 exchange in liquidity for new tokens – is kicking off 2019 with the 4th edition of the Blockchain Economic Forum: The Decentralized Financial System.
More than 100 high-profile economists, regulators, officials, and business leaders from all around the world will join us for three days to set the ground rules for the design, governance and monetary policy of a more inclusive and transparent financial system.
Davos: A Town of Opportunities
Previous blockchain economic forums took place in some of the world’s greatest cities, including New York, Singapore, and San Francisco.
This time is different. The Blockchain Economic Forum will leave the asphalt jungles behind and move the discussion of technological and structural changes in the financial system, capital markets and states to Davos, Switzerland.
Every year, this small Alpine town hosts over 3,000 leaders of the global society to chart the course for regional and global development. This coming January, they will also have the opportunity to shape the future of global finance at the Blockchain Economic Forum, to be held at the Arabella Hotel Waldhuus Davos from January 24-26, 2019.
