The time for our online workshop on “Democratizing Investment” has been updated. The old time was from 3pm-7pm CET on Friday the 21st, with which it was unfortunately also promoted in our last newsletter. The updated time is 3:30pm-6:15pm CET – the day stays the same, so it’s only a small update and the new time fits into the old timeslot as well. We’ll also notify everyone who has so far signed up for the workshop about the small change. If you haven’t yet, please register here to participate.
The workshop is split into two parts, so feel free to join for only one if you can’t make it to the full workshop:
