The First Global Crypto Finance Conference in St. Moritz, Switzerland in January 2018
A group of eight Swiss investors and entrepreneurs plan the three-day Crypto Finance ConferenceTM in the Swiss mountain resort St. Moritz at the prestigious “Suvretta House” hotel, catering to the global investor community. More than 20 top class speakers from all over the world including the most relevant crypto funds and investors could already be enlisted. The aim of the conference is to allow private and institutional investors to gain a comprehensive understanding of what crypto currencies and the blockchain are, how to invest in, what regulators and risk managers think and how crypto assets can be stored and accessed safely. The conference takes place from Wednesday the 17th to Friday the 19th of January 2018 right before the World Economic Forum.
The motivation to organize the Crypto Finance ConferenceTM, so Dr. Tobias Reichmuth is clear: “The blockchain and crypto currency industry is highly attractive for investors. However, as in every young industry, investors must be careful with hypes, pitfalls and high volatility. We state a lack of education and information for investors and want to change this. While there are many tech-oriented blockchain conferences, a professional and global investor focused crypto finance conference was missing so far.”
The Crypto Finance ConferenceTM invites up to 250 selected investors around the globe to St. Moritz. The conference program starts on Wednesday afternoon with a more general approach explaining what the Blockchain is, how Bitcoins and other crypto currencies are mined and discusses the possible future of crypto currencies. On Thursday morning the focus lays on legal and regulatory aspects, while the afternoon offers 14 presentations in two tracks on how to invest in crypto currencies and blockchain companies. Friday sheds light on how to store crypto assets and discusses measures to mitigate risk. In the afternoon ICOs and blockchain start-up companies will compete for the investors’ favor.
The conference’s speaker list is already impressive: Blockchain veteran Bobby Lee, who runs the world’s first and foremost bitcoin exchange is joined by Joe Matonis, Founding Director of the Bitcoin Foundation. Additionally the founders of the most relevant crypto funds and investors are on stage. Daniel Gutenberg, himself a successful crypto currency investor explains: “The speaker line-up of the conference provides is second to none. I have not heard of any format bringing together so much knowledge in the crypto currencies and Bitcoin world as the Crypto Finance ConferenceTM does.”
The organisation committee consists of Dr. Tobias Reichmuth (CEO and founder of SUSI Partners and chairman of Crypto Finance AG), Daniel Gutenberg (super angel investor, venture capitalist and unicorn hunter), Eric Sarasin (former private banker and active Private Equity investor), Marc P. Bernegger (serial web entrepreneur and fintech investor), Schoscho Rufener (founder of Switzerland’s largest event agency), Pascal Forster (Top-Headhunter, Entrepreneur and Investor), Sam Manz (founder of moneyland.ch and firegroup.com) and Andrea-Franco Stöhr (lawyer in St. Moritz).
For the conference location the prestigious Suvretta House in St. Moritz has been chosen. Marc P. Bernegger comments: “With its Crypto Valley, Switzerland has taken the lead in the global blockchain landscape. It just makes sense to organize this first global investor conference in Switzerland. And St. Moritz in the Swiss Alps provide the right atmosphere to this fast-moving community.”
