Greetings from the ICON Team,

The ICON Team is proud to take part in ICBC 2019 (International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency 2019), which will be held at the SKT Tower in Seoul from May 14–17, 2019. This is the first technical conference on Blockchain sponsored by IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), the world’s largest professional organization in ICT. ICBC 2019 is expected to be a place where leading global companies, major open source projects, and academia come together to share the latest research results in the blockchain industry and engage in talks on topics such as regulations, policies, standards, and applications.

Henry Lee, a Director at ICON, will participate in a panel discussion alongside Dr. Sachiko Yoshihama (IBM Research, Japan), Ziyuan Wang (Swinburne University of Technology, Australia), and Christian Schaefer (Ericsson Research, Sweden) discussing ‘Industrial Challenges and Opportunities in Blockchain and Cryptocurrency’.
