Demystifying Blockchain Technology - Charlotte

E4 Carolinas is the Carolinas' energy trade association. Members are from all sectors of the energy industry. Some are large and established while others are small, early stage companies. Some are directly engaged in energy production and infrastructure industries while others provide valuable services and supplies. Regardless of their size or role, members find opportunities to collaborate across the five E4 Carolinas' focus areas: Economic Development, Policy, Innovation, Communications & Talent Development.

Blockchain Technology (a mystery for most) is rapidly gaining attention in the energy industry.  Blockchain’s ability to automate processes and manage a shared, immutable, and auditable record of transactions has game-changing applications for the energy industry, which, by nature, is a creature of complex, multi-party transactions and requires the processing and coordination of an enormous amount of data.  Understanding the basics of blockchain is a must for those in the industry (and for businesses generally).
Demystifying this pervasive technology and exploring its varied applications is the goal of the gathering.  The panelists include both technical experts and pragmatic conveyors of concepts.  How can Blockchain Technology be employed to transform your business? Come away with some answers (rather than hearing them from colleagues or competitors).
So, join us to learn about this dynamic technology of distributed transactional ledgers that is set to transform the energy industry.  You’ll be pleased that you did.
