NBA-SBL CONFERENCES
Traditionally a convergence of the legal and business community, the NBA-SBL conferences present an opportunity for lawyers, policymakers, regulators, and investors to engage, discuss, network, and unwind in a convivial atmosphere. This year would be no different as the conference would have key stakeholders from the digital ecosystem fairly represented at the conference.
