On November 21, 2017, an event took place at the Finnish-Russian Chamber of Commerce (FRCC), dedicated to blockchain technology and crypto currencies. Associate of the corporate practice Gleb Apenkin was invited to speak at the event.

Gleb spoke about the following issues:

• Distributed register technology
• Blockchain
• Crypto currency
• Smart contracts
• State regulation (foreign experience and Russia)

Today Russia is at the stage of developing legal initiatives that would allow regulating this area. But one can already see that the topic is constantly of great interest to the audience.

Following the event, the participants shared their impressions:

- “It’s a good thing that there are people within the business community who understand the crypto world – the audience at the event really wanted to understand the crypto world.”

- “A very interesting and vital topic, with detailed information being given.”

- “A great update of our knowledge of the blockchain technology and the crypto currency market.”

- “I liked the event very much.”
