The Future of Money, Governance, & The Law 2023 | Government Blockchain Association | 24 May 2023 | National Press Club, 529 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20045, USA

All governments need to understand now, more than ever, how blockchain is disrupting current systems. As cryptocurrencies, DeFi, DAOs, smart contracts, IoT, and AI shift power from centralized authority to decentralized authority, governments that do not adapt will be left holding an empty bag. This 2 -day is at the National Press Club in Washington DC and is intended to educate policymakers, map out trajectories, and offer solutions with potential use cases.
