The NEO Council have today released their September Monthly Report. The Monthly Reports are a round up of all the developments, news and events from within the NEO Council the previous month. Events featuring highly in the September report.

NEO hosted or took part in five notable events in their continued efforts to grow the development community. These included INNOxNEO nights 3 & 4 where Liu Jianqi and Tan Yuan presented on how to write C# smart contracts, and R&D Manager Malcolm Lerider and Community Operations Manager Fred Huang spoke about the progress being made in the community abroad.

NEO also hosted a community meet up at the Drei Kronen Brauhaus. As the venue was in close proximity to the 3rd Global Blockchain Summit which was held in Shanghai, many blockchain enthusiasts were able to attend and network with other NEO fans and council members in a casual setting. One community member produced this interview with Da Hongfei at the event.

Another exciting event was the INNOx Austrade Blockchain Seminar, to which NEO had been invited. This event provided NEO the opportunity to present to a delegation from Australia who were on a fact finding mission to further their goal of being a leader in blockchain adoption.

The final event in September was the Blockchain Workshop in Hangzhou held in collaboration with Microsoft Azure. Tan Yuan again presented on smart contract development and led a full day workshop for 30 developers at start up hub Tech Temple.
