DASS is the premier “allocators only” all-in-one, 2-day due diligence solution for digital assets. The Summit (October 20 – 21 – Dallas, TX) centers around research, asset allocation/portfolio construction and risk management as institutional investors seek to commit capital to blockchain and/or cryptocurrencies. There will also be a 4-hour “Introduction to Digital Assets” workshop which will cover everything from Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision to what is bitcoin, what is blockchain and lessons investment professionals are learning about the prospect of investing in digital assets.

“We take great pride in our “allocators only” format which is dedicated to educating investment professionals and accredited investors who are seeking actionable investment ideas in the digital assets space. We couldn’t be happier about having well-respected Wall Street veterans such as Ric and Kyle as well as the SEC at the forefront of the digital assets discussion” says the founder of the event, Don Friedman.

“I’m really pleased with the caliber of the conference agenda we’ve put together as well as the speaking faculty.
