The Blockchain Alternative Investment Conferences team is delighted
to welcome all of our speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and delegates
to BAIConf London 2018, the first global blockchain alternative
investment conference focused exclusively on institutional investors,
hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, private banks, family offices,
and accredited individuals.
Over the past year, interest in crypto assets – whether as currencies,
commodities or securities - has moved beyond the hype and into
the mainstream. As digital assets outperformed traditional assets
by nearly 13x in 2017, the rapid growth of this token economy has
catapulted cryptocurrency investing from a curiosity into a strategic
priority.
We are proud to have assembled a world-class programme of
investors, enterpreneurs, pioneers and policymakers to provide
market and regulatory insights on the next advancements in crypto
assets and the development of what is set to become Web 3.0 - the
next generation of the Internet.
We are especially grateful to all of our sponsors: DRW Cumberland,
SatoshiCareers.com and ConsenSys – as well as to the members of
the Harvard UK Alumni Special Interest Group on Blockchain and
Cryptocurrencies – for their generous support in making this event a
success.
We hope you enjoy BAIConf London 2018, and we look forward to
meeting all of you over the course of the conference on Day One and
also seeing you at our Day Two exhibition.

Climate change poses catastrophic risks with uncertain timeframes.
Renewable energy technologies are responding well but they remain too
expensive and so their impact on carbon emissions is slow. Consumers
are concerned about climate change but they continue to choose more
affordable electricity generated from fossil fuels. Zero Carbon Project
tackles climate change using the blockchain and international carbon
credits. Our online price comparison Market Place beats renewables
and fossil fuels on price; and our customers are rewarded with valuable
Energis tokens. A cheaper energy price alone is not enough to drive mass
consumer switching to zero carbon energy. The Energis token will reward
consumers for using zero carbon energy and for referring others into
the scheme. The energy suppliers are also obligated to pay the project
transaction fees in Energis. We believe that the future utility value of
Energis coupled with the cheaper energy costs will act as a real catalyst
for change.
