VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victory Square Technologies Inc. (“Victory Square” or the “Company”) (CSE: VST, OTCQX: VSQTF, FWB: 6F6) is partnering with Keynote to bring the World Blockchain Forum to the “Old Billingsgate” landmark in the heart of London, UK, from September 3–5, 2018.
The two-day conference will once again host a world-class lineup of over 100 technology experts who will share their insights into the perils, pitfalls and promise of blockchain as it emerges onto the wider global stage. The conference in London is focused on blockchain technology -- specifically investments, legal implications and regulations -- and how decentralization is disrupting the banking industry.
“The World Blockchain Forum will continue to serve as a breeding ground for innovation from the world’s brightest visionaries,” said Shafin Diamond Tejani, CEO of Victory Square. “We’re particularly pleased to see the emphasis on decentralization and disruption in the banking industry, which has become an important theme and core competency for Victory Square and its portfolio companies in blockchain.”
The World Blockchain Forum has been the launchpad for major industry innovators and disruptors - including Ethereum (which is currently at a $27 billion USD market cap), Litecoin ($3 billion market cap), and Dash ($1 billion) - embedded in the industry since 2012 and among those to use these forums to continue to drive innovation and growth in the blockchain space.
“Victory Square has been a constant supporter and partner with us and we could not be happier to see this relationship grow,” noted Moe Levin, Founder & CEO of Keynote. “The World Blockchain Forum in London marks the third event that Victory Square has partnered with Keynote, with many more to follow. They are becoming a mainstay authority in our emerging technology industry and we believe that through conferences such as this, they are a vital gateway for aspiring and accomplished entrepreneurial teams alike to build the traction and community needed to bring their products to market.”
Tejani noted that the World Blockchain Forum is the most important annual forum of its kind and serves as a leading light in the blockchain and crypto world, providing the technical tools of investing such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but also serving as a stepping stone into more sophisticated investing. The conference will showcase the latest innovations in the blockchain industry and curate conversations between the world’s leading pioneers and experts about the promise and future of blockchain.
“The Victory Square partnership with Keynote continues to strengthen as WBF: London is the third time we have teamed up to support emerging technologies and leading entrepreneurial teams,” said Tejani. “With each iteration of the World Blockchain Forum comes direct opportunity for Victory Square to identify and connect with well-respected emerging technology innovators, investors, regulators and leading projects around the world while offering exposure to our own portfolio companies and incubated technological offerings.”
Peter Smyrniotis of Vancouver, a member of the Board of Directors of Victory Square and CEO of Aspen Technologies Inc. (“Aspen”), will be speaking on the main stage on Tuesday, September 4, 2018. Together Victory Square and Aspen will be judging an Investment Prize Pool valued at $150,000 USD in Token Generation Advisory Services for the top three blockchain companies during the WBF’s Pitch Your ICO session.
