London Blockchain Week 2018 | Fintech Worldwide Ltd. | 19 January 2018 | Grange Tower Bridge Hotel, 45 Prescot Street, London, UK

Blockchain Week kicks off with the Hack-The-Block Blockchain Hackathon at Cocoon Network. The challenge will be set by our sponsor(s). Typically we require an innovative use of Blockchain/DLT technology To solve a real problem. The winners for 2017 got the opportunity to develop their projects further with the Central Bank of Papua New Guinea. Get in touch if you'd like to sponsor the 2018 Challenge.

The 4th Annual Blockchain London Conference & Expo will take place during London Blockchain Week. This year, the event will span 3 days. The first day will feature an expo of 40-60 of the hottest blockchain companies worldwide. After the expo we'll run our two day conference exploring Blockchain/DLT across all sectors.

While the conference is great for keeping up to date with the latest trends from top industry experts, people who would like a deeper dive into Blockchain/DLT can attend workshops on topics including, Smart Contracts, Ethereum and BigchainDB, to name a few. We've dedicated Wednesday and Thursday to learning. Space is limited. Workshops will take place at Cocoon Networks.
