The meeting is about the use of blockchain (distributed ledger) technology for non-financial purposes. For example, Smart Contracts, the Internet of Things, Chain-of-Title, and Medical Records. Premier solution providers in this space will describe what they do and how. There will also be panel discussions on what it takes for solutions to be successful and how this new and exciting technology can be applied for data integrity, trust, accessibility, and more. Our events bring together technology people and business people to promote increased understanding and business opportunities. The audience is expected to include investors, developers, industry experts, researchers, managers, and entrepreneurs.
