On Friday the 7th of June, over 240 people among P2P platform representatives, P2P investors, and bloggers came together in Riga<\/a> for the 1st edition of the European P2P Conference. This P2P Conference was certainly a memorable one! Taking place at the wonderfully unique RISEBA Architecture and Media Center H2O 6<\/a>, this event brought together people from 24 nations representing the entire community to display just what makes P2P crowdlending so unique – its diversity, its cross-sectoral nature, and its collaborative spirit.<\/p>\n

The event, hosting interesting keynote speakers, an array of informative presentations, and topped off with a fun evening and second-day entirely dedicated to networking opportunities.<\/p>\n

Starting this month, all content will be made available in Portuguese. I hope with this decision to contribute to informing all Portuguese speaking countries that are looking to diversify their savings portfolios with fixed income assets.<\/p>\n
