ICO’s 101: How to Run a Token Sale | Los Angeles

About this event

Blockchain experts Justin Newton and Dawn Newton from Netki and Erick Herring, CTO of Vynyl talk about their first-hand experience working with ICO’s from conceptual stage to compliant KYC/AML onboarding to token distribution.

Overview:​ Money raised through ICO’s jumped from $100 Million in 2016 to $6.8+ Billion in 2017 as cryptocurrencies rapidly burst into mainstream. Our panel of experts will describe their first-hand experience working together as partners on a recent $80 million token sale including the risks, challenges, surprises, regulatory/compliance issues, and lessons learned.

What You’ll Take Away: Attendees will leave with a solid understanding of what token sales and ICO’s are, best practices for running one with lessons learned from industry experts, and a robust overview of the regulatory and compliance requirements associated with this new asset class.

Why It Matters: Token sales have only begun to make a dent in the amount of global capital raised annually. As their growth continues it is important to inform the public as to what an ICO is, what to look for from a buyer’s viewpoint (and how to avoid scams), and how to run an ICO with a successful outcome.
