Have you heard of Blockchain or distributed ledger technology and wondered what it is? Have you read about proof of authority, consensus, proof of work, etc., and been left scratching your head? You are not alone.
Blockchain is an emerging technology that proposes to have wide applicability across many industries. With billions in investment pouring into Blockchain start-ups and technology research from some of the most respected banks and investors worldwide, the promise is huge, but how does it affect your business?
In this presentation, Rose MacDonald and Andrew Collins will present the fundamental aspects of Blockchain in non-technical language and share their real-world experience developing business applications using blockchain technology. What works and what doesn’t, and where blockchain is applicable in today's businesses and Government.
This presentation will help you understand on building any blockchain pilot or business cases you are developing.
