The one-day conference will answer some of the industry’s most pressing questions.

Digital technologies let people who have never met do business across borders and continents in an instant; but how can they trust one another without relying on bureaucracy and middlemen?

How can security, identity and ownership be guaranteed while still operating at the speed of the internet?

Blockchains may provide the answer.

However, significant technical hurdles must be cleared before these solutions reach more widespread adoption.

Emerging legal and regulatory questions will be addressed as well.

The April 23 program will provide timely updates and insightful analysis to those interested in keeping pace with fast-moving developments in blockchain around the world.

Speakers will discuss the uncertain future of blockchain technology and its potential impact by examining several pressing questions and topics, including:
The Promise (and Perils) of the Cryptocurrency Craze Initial Coin Offerings Explained Blockchain: Unlocking the Power and Potential A Global View: Regulations for Crypto Economy And more
