Join this session to get past the hype and figure out how (or if!) you should be using blockchain for MERL.
Of all the emerging technologies that are likely to shape the future of international development,
blockchain is certainly at the peak of inflated expectations.
Blockchain in a sentence is a secure platform that lets people and organisations share information with each other with an unprecedented degree of trust and transparency.
International development organizations are struggling to separate the hype from reality. Blockchain could transform the way people and institutions are able to collaborate, exchange value, share information, track assets and deliver vital services. Or it could flounder like 3D Printing did.
Additionally, blockchain brings with it privacy and security concerns, especially if it contains personal or sensitive data. What questions should we be asking about potential risks if using blockchain?
We'll get past the headlines and dig deep into practical use cases and new misuses so you can make an informed decision about blockchain for your organization.
