[DA] Room – [Wed 26th July]

A room with 200 participants from across the country and the region. A representative cohort of the digital asset sector. 

The format for the day will involve “scene-setting” panel discussions followed by active engagement of those in the room. This unique style of delegate participation will ensure the highest quality discussion possible.

The themes of the day will incorporate some of the learnings from the previous day’s discussions. There will be a particular emphasis on use cases and the practical delivery of technology outcomes, such that regulators and the industry can focus on segments of the space beyond the narratives that have slowed and lowered the tone of conversations.
