hosted the Asia Fintech and Blockchain Summit 2018 (AFBS2018 www.afbs.pro). The summit was

The modern marketing world is a strange mix of cutting-edge technology and creativity. The two are
sometimes difficult to mix and connect, but since both are necessary to grab the attention of clients and
customers, marketing agencies need to find ways to bridge this gap.

International support
AFBS quickly gathered sponsors around the world, partly due to the relationships AMG has already
established with its clients and partly because the summit itself has so much potential of becoming the
industry event of the region.

Huobi Global and Bit.cc (formally known as AEX) Exchange have shown their support by providing
rewards for the speakers in two major categories. Best presentation and best summit setup were huge
successes and the competition for these rewards will probably get even tougher for the next summit. On
the other hand, COLDLAR sponsored two of their latest hardware crypto wallets as the raffle of the
summit.

What was really striking was the truly global reach the summit had and it goes to show that the future of
tech and digital finance will be truly global as well. There were more than 500 attendees coming from
Malaysia, China, Japan, Switzerland, and Canada.

This kind of turn around naturally grabbed the attention of the media from Asia and all over the world.
There were over 50 Chinese media outlets reporting about the summit and over 10 from the Philippines.
All of them put the emphasis on the international and innovative themes of the gathering.

What was discussed?

Another interesting thing about the AFBS was the fact that it managed to feature seasoned professionals
working in this field, but to still be new, fresh and educational. Cryptocurrencies are a relativity new
phenomenon in the Philippines and that provided the opportunity for the speakers to discuss more general
matters about the industry and to provide an educational context while discussing the news of the
industry. This approach resonated with the audience since every speaker also held a lengthy Q and A
session, answering the questions from the audience.

The Summit has featured some knowledgeable and educational speeches such as those from Effendy
Zulkilfy, Jake Villanueva, and YangYang Zhang, the topics were broad and easy for this new market to

digest. The local attendees were pleased to have such an opportunity to deepen their understanding of
blockchain and its applications.

Atty. Edsel F. Tupaz followed up with a fascinating lecture about the legal framework behind ICO. The
whole concept of cryptocurrencies is new to the Philippine legal system and this is an area to keep up
with because it needs to be decided how the governmental institutors will handle digital currencies. The
main issues are how the government will treat digital currencies, as an investment or as a currency.

Dr.-Ing. Sandy Shen from AMG, on the other hand, gave a lection about how significantly blockchain
technology will help existing business by giving the case studies in digital advertising. The blockchain is
not a silver bullet to every problem we have nowadays, but with a proper design and usage of the smart
contract and crypto payment, it can help. The biggest issues troubling the market are numerous fraudulent
transactions. Blockchain can help reduce those significantly.

Huobi Global was represented by their marketing director Ethan Ng, and he used this opportunity to
announce the full system of support, that Huobi wants to extend to small businesses looking for the
digital currency solutions. This is the first time for Huobi Global to address their services in public, and
they are especially dedicated to keeping digital assets secure.

Blockchain projects, YeeCall, PlusChain, and SuccessMall showed the crowd how their projects were
blockchain(ed) and how everyone can participate in their business using this technology. SuccessMall is
the first e-commerce in the Philippines applied blockchain, and PlusChain announced their gaming
platform plus blockchain strategy. It is worth noting that the Philippines is actually the 3rd largest user
base for YeeCall among their 40 million global users. It's a platform created to meet the needs of the
region it's based in. Migrant workers in South East Asia find its features to be particularly useful.

AFSB 2018 was a huge success for everyone involved. South East Asia is now clearly on the map for
digital currency trading, professionals working in the field had a chance to meet and talk about their work
and summits such as this will soon become a tradition and a spot to be for digital entrepreneurs.
