Blockchain: changing the way businesses manage transactions

About Event

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are two of the hottest topics in technology today, recently being bantered about by the likes of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates among others. The power behind cryptocurrency is blockchain. However, blockchain has much more usefulness than just being the ledger behind the exchange of cryptocurrency.

Blockchain for business allows this technology to be used to improve multiple business processes. Common uses being discussed involve food safety, supply chain, trade finance and more.

Blockchain for business requires trust. It requires a shared ledger, smart contracts, privacy and proof. This event will help differentiate between blockchain used for Bitcoin and the blockchain IBM knows will change the way businesses manage transactions. Additionally, you will get hands-on with one of the blockchain technologies behind blockchain for business, Hyperledger Fabric.

Through a hands-on lab with Hyperledger Composer, attendees will learn to:

Explore blockchain framework

Deploying to the Fabric and testing the application

Note:Attendees should bring their own laptop.
