BLOCKCHAIN FOR CITIES - MASTERCLASS (November 25 - 27)

WHY THIS MASTERCLASS?

All types of organizations are exploring the possibilities of what distributed ledger technologies such as blockchain may bring to solving problems and creating new opportunities. The public sector, and in particular, cities, may benefit greatly from the integration of this new technology. This 3-day masterclass takes a unique hands-on, project-driven approach to learning and discovering the vast potential of distributed ledger technology (DLT). It will be entirely conducted through the lens of applications in the public sector, and in the ‘smart city domain’ in particular. Participants, regardless of skill and knowledge at the beginning of the course on day one, will leave on day three ready to take action the following day back at their office.

WHO IS THIS INTENDED FOR?

This masterclass is deliberately designed for participants that don’t necessarily have a technical background. It is delivered to be valuable to a wide range of organizational stakeholders, from entry-level positions right through to senior executives. Instructors use business language, not technical jargon, in order that everyone can benefit. Members of the public sector including their providers and partners, will all gain exceptional insights that can be actions upon returning to the office. However, anyone who has an interest in the public sector and the future of cities will certainly see value in attending.

COMPLETING THIS CLASS WILL ALLOW ME TO ...

• Build a comprehensive set of insights as to how DLT applies in the Smart City domain as well as in public sector spheres of work and operations
• Communicate the potential value of DLT to my colleagues and organization.
• Evaluate DLT as a solution or new service in the context of an existing challenge or upcoming project.
