Blockstack Berlin: A Signature Fund Event

Blockstack is excited to announce Blockstack Berlin: A Signature Fund event at the Frank Gehry designed Axica. Blockstack Berlin is bringing together top experts on data privacy, blockchain, information theory, and the decentralized community at large to imagine, learn about, and create decentralized applications. Check out the Blockstack Berlin video here as well as past Blockstack event videos here.

Blockstack has chosen Berlin, a major hub for digital activism, cryptocurrency, and hacker culture, as the location for its third event. Blockstack Berlin will meld cutting edge thought leadership with live demonstrations of decentralized apps currently being developed on top of the Blockstack framework. Attendees will not only hear about, but also witness the development of the New Internet. A New internet that will lead to an open, free, and uncensored society of the future.

Featured speakers include Edward Snowden - Former U.S Intelligence Officer and Whistleblower (Live from Moscow via Video Chat), Elizabeth Stark - Lightning Labs Co-Founder and CEO, Nick Szabo - Blockchain, Cryptocurrency & Smart Contracts Pioneer, and Albert Wenger - Union Square Venture General Partner to name a few.

What was once considered impossible is now being rewritten. Innovation without boundaries is about to happen because of a technological breakthrough in consensus algorithms which allows you to take back your rights to ownership, privacy, and safety and to experience the internet as it was truly meant to be. Because of what Blockstack can already do — it’s now your imagination that will drive what comes next.

Learn.

Engage with the foremost minds leading the decentralized application revolution and learn how the modern world will benefit from the elegant implementation of peer networks and consensus algorithms on a global scale.

Create.

Join our community of visionaries, developers, tech advocates, enterprise partners, and global customers to build for tomorrow. Now has arrived, at Blockstack Berlin.

Axica Information:

"The Best Thing I've Ever Done." - Frank Gehry (American Star Architect)

Behind its classical somber facade, Axica view opens up for the visitor to marvel at the space sculpture typical for Gehry’s architecture: an amorphous structure with shiny surface hovering above the curved glass dome. The Plenum. The Forum, foyer, conference rooms, the Auditorium and the Gehry Lounge can be found underneath the Plenum. Axica has been dubbed as one of the most interesting event locations in Berlin.
