Due to Julian’s expertise in both legal and investment topics we would suggest him talking about "Securities Law Developments for the Blockchain - What is in Store for businesses and funds in 2018”. We’ve seen recently a huge interest from the audience to understand legal aspects internationally. We’ve also seen that a lot of market players trade and launch their own funds in parallel to their major businesses, which pushes them to get better at legal questions.
