EDUCATION SESSION #1052
Blockchain Beyond Crypto for Alternative Investments
|
|
Professionals in the alternatives arena generally think about Blockchain in two ways: trading crypto (bitcoin) and investing in crypto companies as part of a portfolio of investments.
Many market participants believe Blockchain technology is poised to permeate business across all industries. It may herald changes as profound as the ways the internet has transformed your professional and personal life.
There is much more to Blockchain than crypto. Learn how Blockchain is already taking its place in operations and investments in the Alternatives industry. Understand how you, your firm and your clients are likely to be impacted. Hear what to expect next as Blockchain continues to evolve.
Bring your questions as you dive into this fascinating area. Share your perspective with peers as you network over cocktails and refreshments following the discussion.
