We're happy to have Vitalik Buterin, Balaji Srinivasan, and Joseph Poon speak to us. Vitalik (http://fortune.com/40-under-40/vitalik-buterin-10/) is the primary founder of Ethereum while Balaji (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/05/balaji-srinivasan-21-co-interview-on-blockchain.html) is the CEO of 21.co (https://21.co/) and a board partner at Andreessen Horowitz (https://a16z.com/); his talk will be on "Quantifying Decentralization (https://news.21.co/quantifying-decentralization-e39db233c28e)". Joseph (https://twitter.com/jcp?lang=en) and Vitalik are authors of Plasma (http://plasma.io/), which is what Joseph will speak on. The talks will be followed by a discussion which Dan Boneh (http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/) will lead; Dan is professor at Stanford and creator of a great online course on cryptography (https://www.coursera.org/learn/crypto). The formal part of the event is planned to go from 4-6pm.

There are many more who want to attend than we can support, so only RSVP "yes" if you can actually attend! Note that it starts at 4pm on a Tuesday, which may be difficult for many. Plan ahead to arrive early (say 3:30) to allow for traffic, navigate parking, and find the venue. If you're parking, use this map (https://stanford.app.box.com/v/Parking-and-Circulation-Map) and park at the Stock Farm Garage, the Via Ortega Garage, or the Searsville (https://headsup.stanford.edu/searsvillelot) parking lot; look for "E" or "P" spots. The event will be live-streamed on this Youtube channel. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QniY_QFSR5I)

This event is co-sponsored by the Stanford Computer Security Laboratory (http://seclab.stanford.edu/); we are very grateful for the help of Dan Boneh and Ruth Harris in arranging use of the Li Ka Shing Conference Center (http://conferencecenter.stanford.edu/).

This will be a fun event; please join us!
