1. Event organiser

An event organiser is planning to set up a virtual assets exhibition, convention, seminar or conference (or any form of B2B/B2B2C event) held in the Emirate, which aims to bring together global leaders in the virtual asset industry, investors, and technology enthusiasts. In preparation of the event, the organiser should make sure that it complies with applicable requirements in the Marketing Regulations, including, but not limited to, Marketing Regulation I.F.2.
 
For example, the event organiser should:
 
(i)Ensure that all attendees are suitable and/or qualified to attend the event, depending on the nature and focus of the event (e.g. the audience for a virtual assets event focusing on institutional investment opportunities should be very different from a hackathon); and
(ii)ensure it can, upon request, demonstrate to VARA how it complies, or has complied with, all requirements applicable to event organisers in the Marketing Regulations.
