Blockchain technology are red-hot at present, generating countless media reports. For instance, watch this two-minute everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-new-technology released last week via Wired.

But if you want slightly more than two minutes of content on this topic, then attend the Texas Bitcoin Conference on Saturday, October 28 and Sunday, October 29 at the Canyon View Event Center (4800 Spicewood Springs Road). This event promises to empower you to “discover and understand exploding evolution of blockchain technologies, like smart contracts, new ways to fund ventures, define value, coordinate business processes, define identities, prevent fraud, and more.”

Speakers at the event include Dionna Bailey (Nexus Earth), Dhruv Bansal (Unchained Capital), Anthem Hayek Blanchard (AnthemGold.com), Bruce Fenton (Atlantic Financial), Elisabeth Grothe-Møller (CommonCollection.com), David Johnston (Factom, Inc), Joe Kelly (Unchained Capital), Tiana Laurence (“Blockchain for Dummies”), Charles Silver (RealAge), Darsh Singh (Hazoor Partners), Julie Smith (Medici Ventures), Jared Tate (DigiByte), Melanie Swan (“Blockchain: Blueprint for the New Economy”) and many many more.

Tickets for the Texas Bitcoin Conference are still available $400 per person.

Finally, gain even more insights on this topic by attending the special blockchain series of sessions at SXSW 2018. These panels and presentations are scheduled for Wednesday, March 14 and Thursday, March 15.
