March 28 Swytch Newsletter

A lot has happened over the past two weeks, with Swytch team members interacting with the blockchain community on multiple continents. Now that the craziness has settled down and everyone is back home, it’s time for another community update.

First, let’s include a few more happenings from SXSW that we didn’t cover last week.

Here’s the talk that co-founder Evan Caron gave at the BlokHausATX event in Austin during SXSW Interactive.

Dr. John Clippinger also made it to the BlokHausATX event to talk about blockchain, the future, and Swytch.

Swytch got a great reception at SXSW, and we’d like to give a huge thank you to all of the people and organizations that make SXSW such a great place for ecologically minded tech people to come together and share ideas as part of a bigger community.

Dr. Clippinger wrote an article for VentureBeat that you definitely need to read.

Evan Caron and John Clippinger traveled to Korea for the TV Chosun Conference. The Swytch community in Korea has been extremely enthusiastic about Swytch from the very beginning, and it was a very positive trip. John and Evan met a lot of people, including several potential partners and government officials interested in the solutions Swytch will provide.

Evan had this to say:
“TV Chosun in Seoul was an enlightening experience with a diverse crowd of young men and women who have an eager and incredible appetite for learning about blockchain and understanding the opportunities and potential of digital tokens. Their incredible support for technology, especially those that support renewable and sustainable actions, was at the forefront of everyone’s minds. John and I spent our time meeting, discussing, and taking thousands of photos with the hundreds of blockchain enthusiasts in the standing room only conference center at the Seoul chamber of commerce.”

As noted in last week’s post, Peter Hirshberg and Andrew Pearsons visited the d10e conference in Puerto Rico, won 1st place at the pitch day contest, and came home with a much enhanced understanding of the on-the-ground reality of a territory that desperately needs affordable renewable energy. We’ll be putting out an article soon that dives into that topic in more detail.
