The 7th ECN Crowdfunding Convention: 18 October 2018, Brussels, Belgium 

Crowdfunding is an established form of alternative finance for start-ups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), real estate and renewable energy. The European Commission has now proposed regulation "European Crowdfunding Service Providers (ECSP) for business" covering both, lending-based crowdfunding and investment-based crowdfunding. 

The 7th ECN Crowdfunding Convention will take an honest view at the proposal, framed by the realities of the political discourse and options in the EU policy process. We will seek open discourse on the proposal and its possible adaption. The Convention will be organized as an adjoint event to FECIF's Conference taking place on the 17 October 2018.

Interested members of the ESIL community may contact us at info@eurocrowd.org to inquire about access.
