The Institutional Digital Assets Conference

06/26/2024

DigiAssets is the institutional digital assets conference for asset owners, asset managers and leading market participants to explore the latest and greatest innovations in the fast-evolving market. The event provides a credible platform for our sponsors to position themselves as industry leaders, in front of Europe’s top financial institutions. In May we had 550 attendees from across the institutional ecosystem, with 280 representing the leading buy side firms. The industry came together to network and share their strategies and roadmaps for the year ahead. The delegates enjoyed two days of networking and learning, with a total of 135 speakers and 50 sessions, plus a mix of interactive working-group discussions and workshops. In addition to this we also hosted several networking events for attendees, including private lunch boardrooms, interactive roundtables with fizz, and our drinks reception which was hosted at the Skinny kitchen and included live music, canapes and cocktails!

Here’s a look at just a few of the buy side firms that were represented at DigiAssets:

Winton, Vanguard, Unigestion, T.RowePrice, SYZ, State Street, Schoders, Schonfeld, Point72, OneRiver, Nickel, NewYorkLife, Millennium, Man, Lombard Odier, HSBC, Hamilton Lane, Franklin Templeton, Fidelity Investment, CERN
