"I would like to invite you to join the second edition of our blockchain conference in Zurich. The upcoming Crypto Summit (formerly the ICO Summit) will be held on 28 March 2018."
There's an early bird special for ticket prices. I'm not going, I'm actually not sure where the invite generated from.
The event last September became the first international conference in Switzerland dedicated to blockchain crowdfunding. 85% of the speakers were from outside Switzerland and the 500 conference attendees and 2,000 people who tuned in to our live stream represented over 30 countries. This was formerly an ICO event, they renamed it. Probably because of all the ICO scams there have been latly.
I'm a little disappointed that you can't pay for this crypto event with crypto.
Does this pose an immediate problem? No. I'm sure there's a way around it with things like LitePay but it feels weird. I think it's mostly that they created their signups with EventBrite. Its just disheartening that as an industry blockchain companies are not doing everything they can to promote the use of cryptocurrencies.
Perhaps this shows a gap in the market. There are users, now we need businesses on board. Perhaps we just need more Sales Processing software for crypto.
Here's a link to the event if anyone is interested. It's put on by Smart Valor and they apparently do a lot of events. https://smartvalor.com/meet-us/
