This conference aims to explore the relationship between blockchain and governance, offering a space not only for the consideration of how governmental processes may be altered by blockchain technology, but also how governments may in turn shape this technology.

Speakers include Eva Kaili MEP, Martin Köppelmann, Co-Founder, CEO Gnosis, Garrick Hileman, Research Fellow. Cambridge Judge Business School.
