Recap of the Crypto Assets Conference (CAC20B): Blockchain, DLT, Crypto Assets, Custody, DeFi, and the Digital Euro
Three years ago, the first CAC was held and since then both the environment and the key players in the area of crypto assets, blockchain and DLT have developed. Together with the executives, founders, investors and representatives of public authorities, these relevant changes as well as the new areas were discussed at the CAC20B on October 29–31, 2020. During the 3-day conference, visitors were introduced to these currently relevant topics through speeches, discussions, panels, pitches and networking opportunities. — Authors: Philipp Sandner, Marla Bläsius
The second edition of the Crypto Assets Conference 2020 was initiated during the pandemic. We believe that the face to face meetings, high-quality contacts, constructive exchange and discussions were necessary. Since social distancing must be followed and some participants and speakers cannot come to the event, we decided to hold an online and offline conference in Frankfurt for the first time. Successfully, we have set a new participation record for this edition of the Crypto Assets Conference, with over 1400 participants.
During the CAC20B the participants had the opportunity to engage in an in-depth networking for more than ten hours with over 40 presentations, panel discussions and startup pitches. Participants were able to gather detailed information about the latest developments in the crypto sphere through the presence of more than 20 companies. Also, the virtual and the physically present participants had the chance to exchange and do networking among themselves.
All the keynotes, presentations, and panel discussions that were streamed in our Frankfurt School conference platform were made accessible for all the attendees. For the participants who decided to come to Frankfurt School, we prepared booths, experts and more, to encourage networking and help them get to know each other - all in accordance with the current social distancing protocols.
Arrangement of the CAC20B in three different subject-related conference days
To account for the current dynamics in the crypto ecosystem and allow a defined thematic focus, we divided all the conference lectures into three different subject-related topics such as: (1) Digital Assets, Securities & Infrastructure; (2) Crypto and Custody; (3) Digital Euro and Stablecoins.
