Hard Fork Summit 2019 | The Next Web (TNB) | 15 October 2019 | TQ, Singel 542, 1017 AZ Amsterdam, Netherlands

After last year’s successful edition in London, Hard Fork Summit is back! This time, we’re bringing the discussion to Amsterdam. On October 15-17, join industry leaders to discuss blockchain’s future impact on fintech and business operations, and the hurdles we’ll face along the way.

With exciting prospects surrounding decentralized currency and the immutability of blockchain, our expert lineup of speakers will examine how this tech will transform banking, company accountability, and more.

During the day, you’ll meet and exchange ideas with thought leaders, through keynotes and panel discussions. At night, companies will host events throughout the city, where you can form new partnerships at meetups and workshops.

If you’re involved in shaping new products or companies at the intersection of finance, innovation and technology and you want your company to win, Hard Fork Summit is for you.
