******************************************************************************
Chain-in: The International Industrial & Academic Conference on Blockchain Technology
Porto, Portugal — July 9th & 10th, 2018
http://www.chain-in.org/******************************************************************************
WHY CHAIN-IN?
- It brings both industrial enthusiasts and academics to interact and join forces for a brighter blockchain future.
- It spans a wide spectrum of talks: technical, law, market, economics, etc., that helps attendees and speakers understand the entire blockchains ecosystem.
- It is a platform for easy/fast/recorded dissemination and speaker's exposure without the burden of academic papers.
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Chain-in is a unique industrial and academic conference focused on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency technologies. In spite of all the hype behind the technology, the industry and academia are often following different approaches to build tamper-proof distributed ledgers (or databases). Experience shows that there is no pure black and white, and thus it is wise to have both rivals exchange knowledge and join forces. Chain-in aims at bringing researchers, developers, and enthusiasts from academia and industry to sit together on the same table and try converge to the best of the technology.
PRESENTATION MODEL
Given that blockchains hail from industry, Chain-in avoids the academic proceeding-based style, and rather adopts a more "casual" model through dedicating the event to presentations and interaction. This is also a great exposure opportunity for enthusiasts, developers, and non-experts to speak at Chain-in. The ultimate goal, and the hope, is to foster interaction and enrich the discussions
