Real-World Impact Through Blockchain Applications

Blockchain has been this year's buzzword, but most individuals don't understand what it is and how it can improve their lives. The majority of blockchain innovations have been technology and payment focused, but blockchain can be used in consumer applications including: creating artwork collectively, tracking music copyrights, and verifying the authenticity of luxury goods. In this panel we will cover everything from rewards-type tokens to blockchain storage of digital assets. Blockchain can be life-changing and we will discuss social impact projects as well as responsibility of technology and how decentralization can benefit by removing need for trusted third parties. Additionally we will cover clever ways you may want to implement blockchain into your company or project.
