Details

The first truly worldwide enterprise leadership community for blockchain, bringing together leading thinkers, builders, and pioneers to accelerate the blockchain revolution.

Blockchain represents nothing less than the second era of the Internet – an evolution from a platform for communicating information to a platform for transacting value. Using cryptography, collaboration, and some clever code, blockchain allows us to securely exchange anything of value, from money and stocks to data, art, votes, and more.

This technology is transforming the way we do business, and every industry will be affected.
