Dash Having Its Own Major Conference in September, Big Announcements to Be Made

The digital currency Dash will be holding it’s own dedicated conference in London on September 24. The event is organized by Keynote, the same company that put together the North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami and the World Blockchain Forum, among several others.

Dash Core Team CEO Ryan Taylor has promised major announcements will be made and important business partnerships will be revealed at this one day event. The conference will be held at The Oval Space in London.

Dash’s timing is convenient, because the World Blockchain Forum begins the following day at the same venue.

Around 350 participants are expected at the event. Ryan Taylor will be a keynote speaker, as will Founder and Strategy Advisor Evan Duffield.

The event will feature panel sessions on hot topics such as development of the upcoming Evolution upgrade, a Dash debit card, and the newly-announced Dash Labs.

Dash raised a few eyebrows this past weekend as the price per token suddenly spiked from $225 to $360 on high trading volume. Since then, the price has settled into the $280 – $300 range. Dash is one of the older top ten altcoins, created in January 2014 by Evan Duffield. Its name was originally Xcoin, then changed to Darkcoin, and finally to Dash.

Dash boasts the first two-tier network in cryptocurrency, with the network divided between ordinary users and miners (tier 1) and masternodes (tier 2). These masternodes provide the advanced features of Dash, including PrivateSend, InstantSend, and Dash’s self-funded “Decentralized Governance by Blockchain” system.
