Open the Block - Blockchain Education for Everyone

Almost everyone has heard about blockchain, but do they actually know what it is? What it can do? Ask anyone on the street and they’ve probably heard of Bitcoin, but what can you do with a blockchain beyond Satoshi’s white-paper? Come and listen to three blockchain educators talk about the many different facets of the blockchain and what it actually can - and cannot - do. Go beyond the hype, FUD, and FOMO to hear the real story.
Our speakers:

Although relatively new to the NEM team, Laura has experience in both management and the public sector through both a brief stint at the United Nations as well as with the Canadian Government. Finishing up her Master’s Degree in International Development Studies as a mature learner, she believes in lifelong learning which led her to her fascination with Blockchain technology and real-world use cases. With the opening of the Bangkok office, NEM looks forward to furthering meaningful partnerships throughout South East Asia and around the world. Laura will start the event off by talking about NEM next-gen chain and Smart Contract overview.
