Eurasia Blockchain Summit
Huobi Group, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has over the recent past focused on the rapidly growing cryptocurrency market in Turkey. In collaboration with Kemer Partners, it is getting ready for one of the most exciting blockchain conferences in 2019, the Eurasia Blockchain Summit to be held in Istanbul. The two-day long event will gather crypto enthusiasts, industry leaders, and government officials to discuss the future of the industry.
Experienced speakers in the cryptocurrency and financial world will be attending. Huobi Group’s very own CEO Livio Weng is among the keynote speakers in addition to Fei Liu, the COO of Bixin Finance, Huobi Global CFO Chris Lee and Prof. Emin Sun Gurer.
