BLOCKCHAIN 2020

When:  Aug 4, 2020 from 12:00 to 13:00 (ET)

Description

The last five years saw blockchain become one of the trendiest topics at the intersection of technology and the law. But as we look at the next ten years, will it really be a revolution? This presentation takes a look at where we’re already seeing blockchain implementation in the legal and financial industries and the forecast for future use cases, with an analysis on the opportunity and challenges for deployment. We’ll explore use cases from various countries and governments, corporations, and consortia, and discuss the underlying technological capabilities that can be determinative on blockchain’s viability as a solution to problems we face today, especially in a post-Coronavirus world where secure remote access to justice, identity, and commodities will be essential.
