Last but not least, Max and Thomas went to Mumbai to attent the India Blockchain Week. First up Max participated in the panel “ICOs – What’s the heat all about?” where he, amongst others, discussed the good and bad parts about the current ICO (Initial Coin Offering) environment. Max & Thomas also got the opportunity to present Lisk to a big audience during a featured presentation. They explained what Lisk is all about and shared Lisk’s future roadmap as well as their plan to create a decentralized platform that enables anyone to easily build blockchain applications.  And after reading all the retweets and positive feedback on Twitter it can be said that their presentation was a huge success, that created even more Lisk awareness among crypto enthusiasts.
