Dispel the myths and learn about the realities that blockchain offers in this non-technical workshop.
Blockchain is constantly in the news and often receives negative publicity. This is because it is assumed that blockchain, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are the same thing. In reality, blockchain can be used in your business - if you know how to use it. This masterclass, intended for beginners, will demonstrate how a blockchain works, and you will leave with a solid appreciation of what makes a good use case.
Useful for executives, managers and others seeking a better understanding of the technology of blockchain and its applicability, this course will give participants confidence when speaking about the technology, and demonstrate how you assess its suitability within your organisation.
This workshop will describe the various components of blockchains and distributed ledgers, and how to connect to a blockchain. Use cases across industries will be discussed and the audience will be encouraged to ask questions during the day as tutor Gary Nuttall shares his knowledge of projects being used across a number of industries.
