Today it is commonly known as the technology behind Bitcoin or Bitcoin itself, however, block chain technology is more than digital money. It is the technology that insurance companies and banks are tripping over one another to be the first to figure out how to use it in their operation so as to impact their bottom line and create greater wealth for their organization. The Jamaica Stock Exchange does not want Jamaica to be left behind and as such is organizing a one-of-a-kind workshop, “The Blockchain Masterclass – with one of the best in the business, Reggie Middleton.
The Blockchain Masterclass Workshop
WHERE: The Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, 81 Knutsford Boulevard, Kingston 5
WHEN: Wednesday, June 28, 2017
TIME: 8:03 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Blockchain technology has many captains of industry sold, chief among whom are Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Marc Andreessen and Reggie Middleton. The question then to ask is why are these prominent moguls so interested in Block Chain technology, what is in it for them and why Wall Street and Silicon Valley get so excited when Block Chain Technology is mentioned.
The Blockchain Master Class workshop will enable you to develop a clear understanding of the origins of blockchain technology, the problems that blockchains solve, the economic impact of blockchains on common markets, fields of finance, economics, value transfer and how “distributed consensus” ledgers work.
It’s the one workshop with everything you need to get started with understanding Blockchain technology and become a skilled individual on the topic of understanding this rising technology. This is an effective and “to the point” workshop breaking down complex topics, taking you from zero knowledge on the Blockchain, to becoming an individual who is able to fully understand how the Blockchain works in your respected field of work. While there are plenty of Block-chain information scattered around the web, it’s hard to find a live in class focused Blockchain workshop like this one that the JSE will provide, and on top of that is instructed by an instructor who has a working understanding of Cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain.
