About the event
Overview:
Blockchain is essentially a database technology with attributes that, individually, are not unique to it, but which together are a technological breakthrough in how digital information is stored, verified and exchanged.
Why attend:
- Find out what blockchain is, and what it isn't (hint: it's not crypto currency!)
- Learn how its unique characteristics address many business issues
- Discover blockchain applications for businesses across sectors - manufacturing, logistics & fleet management, retail, hospitality, agriculture, construction & civil engineering - and more!
Through use cases and successes stories from various industries we'll share ideas that are accessible, practical, usable, useful and affordable.
