About Breakfast Session - Blockchain: What's It Really Worth

Join Henry Kim for a breakfast session on blockchain and its many applications. The session will explore fundamental concepts, and applications in finance and supply chain, as well as Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and Initial Coin Offerings (ICO’s.) Learn about Kim's new program Emerging Technlogies: Business Implications & Opportunities which will be launching October 15-17, 2018.
