“Igor has spoken at several of our European events and has always been well received as a knowledgeable and articulate presenter. On the subject of blockchain he managed to convey a difficult subject to an interested audience who were given an excellent grounding on which to base their business strategies. I have read his book, which I found useful and fascinating, and know that others at our events have also found it a great way to be introduced to the topic. I expect to see him on the speaking circuit on this subject for many years as he maintains a strong understanding of a fast-moving subject and look forward to seeing him present again.”
