Synopsis
We are back after many months with our first face-to-face event.
It will be a panel discussion and Q&A on Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain. Whether Bitcoin, Dogecoin, NFTs, Smart contracts or the underlying technology of Blockchain, the aim is to have a discussion on a broad perspective.
Covering not just the technical aspects but also the potential business and societal impact as the technology evolves and inevitably gets adopted by an ever-wider group. Join us.
