Topic

Web 3.0: The Disruptive Force Behind Gov’t, Business and Global Society

Abstract

What if the 2017 Equifax, Parity and Yahoo Hacks could have been avoided? What if The Red Cross was able to deliver disaster relief post Hurricane Harvey when it was really needed? This Track takes a look at the evolution of technology from accessing static information on the web, to sharing social content online, and the emerging opportunity to leverage Blockchain technology to give value to and securitize digital assets directly, thus avoiding the middleman. This Keynote also explores the Disruption that Blockchain technology is facilitating, the challenges that still need to be overcome, and the opportunities for this promising technology. Just like HTTPS changed how applications were built and accessed on the internet, this speaker tackles how advances in Blockchain infrastructure are enabling the next generation of Blockchain applications to be accessible to anyone, from any mobile device in order to solve many government, business and global societal issues.
