With distributed ledger technologies (DLT) like blockchain and digitized securities gaining greater acceptance, we are at the dawn of what could be a transformational age for capital markets. What does this mean for investors? What are the implications for law and corporate advisory practitioners? Yingyu Wang (Ying), Managing Director of Taylor Vinters Via LLC, will explore legal frameworks & compliance matters pertaining to digitized securities offerings and trading, developments in the legal landscape, and common fundraising legal structures used for securities offerings. Yee Chia Hsing, Head of Catalist and Managing Director of CIMB, will discuss the current landscape for fundraising, common pain points related to it, and how platforms like iSTOX may help address those pain points.

We've opened 10 tickets for DUAL members! Since we’ve launched the INSEAD Wine Club, we have had several alumni coming to us with stories or business opportunities as they have created ventures selling wines & champagnes or having created a business around wine (events, masterclasses, accessories, consulting). As our goal is to animate the alumni community but also to support their business endeavour, we decide to promote the INSEADers who make or sell wines or have a wine business with a small wine fair at INSEAD where they can tell their story and share their wines. Please join us at the "WINSEADers Wine Fair" on 5th December on the INSEAD Asia campus to meet these wine entrepreneurs, hear them share their stories and taste their wines!

Cost: DUAL members and a guest each pay SGD65
