CordaCon Day 1 Recap
On September 28th, we kickstarted our annual flagship event CordaCon 2021, which is now its 6th consecutive year. This year we’re in a mixed format, and we have a great panel of speakers, an impressive list of sponsors, and many registered attendees. If you missed CordaCon today or were looking to see a recap of the highlights, look no further! This post will be a quick breakdown of the highlights to check out just in case you missed anything important.
Highlight #1 — The keynote!
R3 CEO David Rutter gave the keynote and welcome address. I would recommend checking it out before looking at the rest of the sessions.
Highlight #2 — R3’s product vision and Roadmap
Our Chief Product Officer, Todd MacDonald, took the time to break down the vision that R3 has for its products in the future. Then John Shaw, our Head of Product Management, lays out exactly how R3 plans to accomplish that vision.
