On July 19 and 20 at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco’s Union Square, BTC Inc, in partnership with ConsenSys, HashKey Digital Asset Group Limited (HKDAG) and Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, will present the first Distributed, a two-day, dual track program featuring 25 panels, keynote presentations, fireside chats, industry roundtables and live demonstrations. Content will touch all industry verticals while providing attendees with access to startup projects and initiatives, as well as enterprise use cases. ConsenSys members will be at the event speaking both days:
Day 1: Thursday, July 19
Day 1 will kick off with opening remarks from Amanda Gutterman, CMO at ConsenSys. Nick Kritikos, Global Business Development at ConsenSys, will be sitting on a panel about “Global State of Blockchain: Dissecting the Current Impact and Future Challenges.” In this panel, Eastern and Western thought leaders explore the current landscape of global blockchain-backed commerce and identify challenges with propelling it forward. Sam Cassatt, Chief Strategy Officer, will also take the stage to deliver a presentation on the “State of Ethereum.”
Day 2: Friday, July 20
John Wolpert, Product and Development Director, Alessandro Voto of the EEA, and Elaine Zelby, Product Marketing, will sit on a panel to discuss “Ethereum’s Roadmap.” The panel will address the question: Ethereum continues to advance and scale transactions. Is it possible for the platform to become the first decentralized computer, and if so, when?
In the afternoon, Joe Vander Zanden, Strategic Alliances & Business Development, will sit on the “Tokenizing Business Models” panel. Tokenization has the power to increase liquidity through cheap and efficient investments. Hear how organizations are incorporating these decentralized peer-to-peer networks as a means to replace existing business models.
Robby Greenfield of ConsenSys Social Impact will be on a panel in the morning about “Developing Markets for Underserved Communities.” From cross-border remittances to solving global payments, explore how blockchain technology is driving the development of a global economy and granting financial freedom to consumers without a traditional bank.
