SPRING 2018 ALL-MEMBER SUMMIT

The Blockchain Research Institute ™’s Spring 2018 All-Member Summit on June 12-13 in New York City was a highlight for members, researchers, and BRI staff. As one of our key membership deliverables, All-Member Summits are an exclusive opportunity to meet blockchain leaders and innovators from around the globe.

The Summit began on June 12 with a dinner reception where members had an opportunity to network and listen to a brief keynote address from BRI Executive Chairman Don Tapscott. He noted the accomplishments of the BRI in the previous year, and the role our members have been playing in the emerging digital economy.

On June 13, we gathered on the 30th floor of the Thomson Reuters building for a day packed with keynote speeches, panels, and workshops led by some of the BRI’s brightest researchers.
