European FinTech Awards 2017 held at the European Parliament in Brussels!
#EFTA17
From Twitter timeline.
Seems the event will be on the 27th September, so perhaps circa October 1st would be a good date for the public beta launch, all else permitting?
Leveraging the public beta launch with such a high profile competition can only be positive imo. There will be a lot of excitement in the market if Plutus will be launching in less than a week from then & therefore a lot more buzz about & interest in Plutus at the event. (Even a few days left for attendees to buy some pre-launch...)
The European FinTech Awards & Conference will bring together over 500 entrepreneurs, bankers, investors and experts.
The market will also respond positively to having the beta launch co-incide with a high profile event as it will get the marketing momentum of a fairly quiet project to date off to a strong start. So win-win, with perhaps a literal award win too
