Building on the Blockchain

Building on the Blockchain

Whether you're a pro or a newcomer, it's confusing

Blockchain. Browse any major papers, magazines, or (let's be real) Twitter, and you can't escape the word.

• What is "the blockchain" and why are people using it?
• Why are banks and other companies so excited by it?
• Why should I even care?

We aim to untangle these questions and offer a unique perspective from both startups building communities and products around blockchain, and banks and investors looking to leverage this technology for a number of applications ranging from finance to digital rights to identity. Confirmed speakers include:

• Simon Taylor, Entrepreneurial Partnerships at Barclays
• Jenny Fielding, Managing Director at Techstars
• Ryan Shea and Muneeb Ali, Co-founders of Onename and leads for Blockstack, a community for developers building on the blockchain
• Jonathan Levin, Business Development at Chainalysis
• Melanie Shapiro, Founder of Case
• Meltem Demirors, Director of Community at Digital Currency Group
