Details

At CogX 2018 we’re proud to announce that we will be running seven separate stages, each with their own theme and agenda over two days, creating over 112 hours of programming (not including workshops or breakouts). Decentralised technologies have seen a huge wave of interest and controversy. This stage is dedicated to penetrating the hype bubble and exploring the opportunities at the intersection of AI and decentralised technologies. Leading engineers and entrepreneurs in this space will talk about the technologies that have real-world applications, from the safe storage of personal data to high-speed, low-cost payments.
