Ethereum Enterprise

Hi everyone-

*UPDATE: We've got a packed house tonight! Beer and pizza are first-come first-serve, so arrive early if you'd like some nosh! *

We've got a wonderful event lined up for May 3rd! The focus will be on one of the most exciting initiatives in this thriving space: Ethereum Enterprise.

Our speaker for the evening is Kirk Dameron – a longtime member of our community – and a member of ConsenSys, one of the 30 launch partners of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA).

Kirk will be talking about the EEA, and in particular, how the adoption of the Ethereum protocol by major enterprise-class companies is a synergy win for Ethereum. The EEA is working on a standard and reference implementation of an Ethereum "v2" that supports enterprise requirements. What does this mean, and how is it a good thing for the public chain? Join us to find out. Kirk's talk will be followed by a Q&A as well.
