Network with and learn about the Irish Blockchain community

About Network with and learn about the Irish Blockchain community

To continue the momentum we built in 2017 with the inaugural Blockchain for Finance Community event, we're turning this into a regular meetup to be held every 6-8 weeks. Our intention is to bring together startups, established financial services and established tech players to highlight blockchain & distributed ledger technologies in development or in use in Ireland, and create that intersection where interesting relationships begin. Although the main themes are finance and tech, so are diversity and inclusion so we will add variety to the lineup to keep things fresh. Beer and pizza help too, so we're lining up sponsors for the rest of 2018! We'll be in the Urban Garden at Dogpatch Labs (http://www.dogpatchlabs.com), a leading startup hub in Ireland located in the CHQ Building in the heart of the IFSC. Schedule:
