AUDIENCE

Anyone wanting to gain a basic understanding of blockchain

Blockchain is being lauded as one of the biggest disrupters to the financial and insurance industry.
But what is blockchain? How does it work? Why is everyone talking about it? Whilst we are on the subject what are smart contracts, distributed ledgers, cryptography and all of these other techy words?

On the 25th of April you are invited to attend a gentle introduction to blockchain. Where all these “cryptic” terms will be decoded for you with real life examples through a journey that will take you around the world and across time.

On this journey you’ll learn:

• what is blockchain and how does it work?
• how is it secure?
• it’s potential impact on the insurance industry
• some interesting proof of concepts within insurance and in other markets

If you want to reach your “aha” moment and understand what is blockchain and its implications to insurance then this presentation is for you.
