Explore use cases on NEM's blockchain technology which aims to deliver a world-class platform for management of almost any kind of asset: currencies, supply chains, notarizations, ownership records & more.

NEM's next generation update, codenamed Catapult, is breaking new barriers in blockchain tech. You are invited to the join us, learn more, and get fired up by hearing from Jeff McDonald, the Vice President of the NEM Foundation and a number of startups building on the NEM protocol!

So Jeff will be speaking on an "Introduction to NEM" or NEM 101. He will be followed by speakers representing a variety of projects being built on NEM for short 5-10 minute introductions which include the following:

Sumeru (https://www.sumeru.us/) is with Aman Goyal, Product Research and Design. Sumeru is harnessing the powerful NEM API's to develop solutions which removes trivial issues in the identity authentication, rewards program and community marketplace industry. "We believe in NEM philosophy that there should be no code, or minimum code on the chain and it should be only used to record assets and information whereas all the code is done on cloud servers."
