This month, General Assembly plays host to Blockchain Beginners, the brains (and beards!) behind the London Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Beginners Meetups. In this themed event, we will lift the shroud of mystery from ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) to reveal whats really going on.
Industry experts shall explain the who, what, when, where and why's of ICOs. They'll also cover how to spot which opportunities you should go for and which you should be wary of.
After absorbing all this info, you'll have the opportunity to put those new skills and knowledge to the test in a pitch-off! A big thank you to our headliners, Gimmer and Pundi X for agreeing to come and present their ICOs, and also to R_Block and Iconiq Labs who will be giving quick fire pitches and taking part in the panel Q&A.
