“I’m excited to demonstrate how BIG brings security and accountability to cryptocurrency at an international event as major as Webit.Festival,” said BIG CEO, Lance Morginn. “These industry conferences always open valuable doors for new client and partner connections. We’re also looking forward to participating in the Crypto Valley Conference. Crypto Valley’s unprecedented collective of Blockchain-related regulators, start-ups, entrepreneurs and specialized technical expertise creates a great opportunity for thought-provoking discussion. Additionally, the conference’s exploration of Blockchain technology in light of finance and regulations is an ideal fit with BIG’s mission to bring security and accountability to the new era of cryptocurrency.

Topics covered will range from technology, economy and finance to law and regulations, with the following being of particular relevance to BIG’s industry focus:

- Smart Contract Security

The conference’s keynote speaker will be Stefan Thomas, CTO of the FinTech company Ripple, which enables over 100 financial institutions to process their customers’ payments anywhere in the world instantly and cost-effectively through the blockchain and Ripple’s global network.
The conference is being organized by the Crypto Valley Association, an independent, government-supported association established to take full advantage of Switzerland’s strengths to build the world’s leading blockchain and cryptographic technologies ecosystem. Started in 2017 by founding members that include Bitcoin Suisse, Luxoft, Monetas, and Thomson Reuters, the association currently includes over 430 start-ups, service providers and other organizations.
An upcoming blockchain-based ‘e-vote’ in the city of Zug is an example of the Crypto Valley Association’s progressive approach to promoting a global center where emerging cryptographic, blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies and businesses can thrive in a safe, supportive, and vibrant environment. The non-binding e-vote is part of a research project piloting an e-voting system where residents enrolled in an existing blockchain-based digital identification system can vote between June 25 and July 1, 2018, in an online poll using an Ethereum-based app. The project adds to the efforts of many governments and researchers looking into voting systems as a potential use case for Blockchain technology, including assessing the privacy, security, immutability, testability and traceability of Blockchain technology in this particular application.
On behalf of the Board,
