A Software Developer's path to Blockchain

My keynote starts with first principles of why Blockchain has the potential to disrupt several industries, and how it's being adopted already by both global companies and startups. Software Developers are the driving force of this global technological shift, and ultimately the bottleneck that can prevent innovation to be built faster. During my talk I explain how Software Developers can leap into Blockchain development, by leveraging their existing experience and also by learning some foundational aspects of this new technology.

How Blockchain is enabling Industry 4.0 across Supply Chains

My keynote is a walk through real world use cases developed in Blockchain Projects with companies such as Porsche, BMW, Roche and other global companies in the Logistic, Supply Chain and manufacturing fields. During my talk I flesh out the use cases, the value they create for the companies involved, and why Blockchain is so critical at enabling them. I also tell a bit about the behind the scenes decision making that is happening right now at large companies' board meetings, and how they are getting into Blockchain.
