BlockTrain is the Media Partner of “Disruptive Industries — Cannabis” at Stanford’s Blockchain Conference

The BlockTrain team is constantly identifying trends and potential disruptors in the blockchain space to provide our global network with information-based competitive advantages. This time, we invite you to explore the use case of Cannabis as a disruptive industry that is on the verge of leveraging blockchain technology to help track and validate its products. Join us for free at Stanford’s Blockchain Conference 2020 next Thursday, February 20th!

About the Event

The primary purpose of the event is to bring together people from diverse backgrounds and industries to discuss the process of Blockchain adoption from different levels of analysis — such as technology, token economics, enterprise (in this case, Cannabis), and policy and regulation.

As new as blockchain technology is, it is maturing very quickly and new use cases are explored by entrepreneurs every day. This event aims to explore those possibilities from all sides — technological, business, and regulatory landscape. This event will bring people together from dynamic industries to learn, discuss, and form beneficial partnerships. We will feature advantages and use cases of blockchain technology, how the cannabis industry is utilizing these technologies, and learn about related policies with talks from industry veterans.

Sperax, Quarkchain and International CBD Supply will co-host the event with the help of BlockTrain (Media Partner), Emerald City (Industry Partner), and StarFish (Community Partner). RSVP and guarantee your spot to engage in the discussions and network with our qualified speakers and hosts.

By the way, here is some information on the Event Speakers and their respective work in the industry:

• Danny O’Brien, Director of Strategy at EFF Foundation, which is the leading non-profit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation. The company has been the key organization in fighting for digital rights — from establishing code as speech​, urging for balanced regulation of cryptocurrency​, and ​fighting against financial censorship​, which also affects the cannabis industry.
• Anthurine Xiang, CMO of Quarkchain, which is an innovative, permissionless blockchain architecture that aims to meet the global commercial standard. It provides a secure, decentralized, and scalable blockchain solution to deliver 100,000+ on-chain TPS.
• Kinsa Durst, CMO of Sperax, which aims to create a secure consensus public chain platform in an open asynchronous network. The project uses SperaxBFT, which can resist various malicious attacks, such as DoS attacks, as the underlying consensus protocol.
• Sue Tang, Partner of International CBD Supply (ICS), which is a leading cannabis technical solution provider that empowers traditional cannabis businesses with effectiveness and efficiency through four scalable business centers: Genetics, Smart Farm Solution, Nanoemulsion, and Formulation Advisory.

Mengfan Zhang, our Founder & CEO, will also share an introductory note on BlockTrain’s global blockchain investment and branding advisory services.

There is a lot more planned than catching attendees up with the intricacies of this trend, however. Extra benefits include scheduled time to network with our guests from both industries — crypto leaders, and cannabis suppliers, growers, and strategists — with food, drinks, and CBD samples. There will also be a lottery at the end of the event with awards. Here’s the complete agenda:

The Intersection of Blockchain & Cannabis

Innovators in the cannabis industry are investigating and developing strategies to incorporate blockchain technologies in their supply chain as a way to make processes safer and more efficient.

From horticulturalists to fintech experts, previously disconnected, or uninvested, stakeholders find in blockchain a shared channel for their transparent growth. Supported by the technological infrastructure of blockchain, legal cannabis emerges as a viable and acceptable option for consumers, who represent an ever-increasing demand. Blockchain-enabled tracking and compliance features will allow consumers to check the authenticity of cannabis products and even add to the chain of information.

Join us next Thursday, February 20th, to discuss these and other uses for blockchain technologies in the Cannabis industry!
