Join us for an engaging panel discussion on emerging decentralised governance models enabled by blockchain technology.

How will they influence or change the way we act and govern ourselves as a society? How will they reshape our world over the coming decades?

This event will explore the topic of decentralised governance as it relates to government institutions, companies, foundations, and other types of groups and organisations.

Come for a beer and bring your questions for the panel. No cost to attend. This event is sponsored by ConsenSys.
