Overview

Blockchain truly is a revolutionary mechanism to bring everyone to the highest degree of accountability. Above anything else, the most critical application of Blockchain technology is to guarantee the validity of a transaction by recording it on a distributed system of registers, all of which are interconnected through a secure time-stamped mechanism. In today's digital information age, Blockchain represents a critical intersection between the financial world, social networking, and powerful decentralized networks. Stakeholders must formulate careful legal and business strategies that factor in the technology and infrastructure, as well as the corresponding market appetite and regulatory structures in rapidly evolving global markets.

This Blockchain Technology Conference to be held on 20 July, 2018 in Chennai aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Blockchain technology by focusing on how to address the implementation challenges, make best use of the opportunities and benefit from the innovation and disruption that this technology brings along.

09:15 AM EST "Blockchain - Building Smart Machines”

Implementing a real-time system at factories for parameter and machine monitoring is here. But, effective way of incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence needs BIG data to analyze. We can get large data but effective ways of using it needs implementation of BlockChain. I am speaking about how implementing Blockchain in IoT ease the process and helps us in building smart machines incorporating features like intelligent control, preventive maintenance, production forecast, in-line production monitoring and multi parameter analysis.

10:00 AM EST Smart Contracts - Security & Governance

Smart contracts are potentially going to play a crucial role in the future in which organizations are governed by them. In a world where 'code is law', the importance of security is immense and cannot be overstated. Since smart contracts are 'immutable' in nature, it is important to get it right, secure and governed properly.

01:30 PM EST “VirtualChain and BlockStack”

We are working towards a Fundamental Change for better Humanity using Decentralized Computing. Blockstack is a new internet for decentralized apps where users own their data. Rather than one social network dominating all of our interactions, imagine having your data stored with you, and not the servers of a centralized intermediary like Facebook. No longer siloed within Facebook’s walls, you would be able to use this digital identity across different applications, having explicit control over what parts of your profile you provide to each app. Instead of renting a profile on Facebook, you own your photos, friendships, and messages as you move from app to app. That’s the promise of the burgeoning decentralized Internet. Our Start-up “Saving Organ Mines” helps fighting organ trade: Stop theft of organ donors' identity, Maintain a tamper proof waiting list for organ receivers and Securing "stem cell information".
