Blockchain Technology World is a major new event dedicated to helping business adopt blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) showcasing real-world applications and practical solutions.

Businesses of all sizes and across all industries can benefit from the new technology, but there is still a significant amount uncertainty and doubt. Tainted by some of the negative stories surrounding of Bitcoin, ICOs and cryptocurrency scams, blockchain can strike fear into the heart of even the most innovative businesses. But it is here to stay, and Blockchain Technology World is here to guide the businesses through best practices, use cases and top tips from implementation.

The show sits alongside the well-established Cloud Expo Europe, which along with Cloud & Cyber Security Expo, Smart IoT, Big Data World and Data Centre World, make up the UK's biggest and best attended business technology event. 

The event will play host to many of the brightest and best blockchain vendors, decision makers from some of the world's biggest and most innovative companies which are looking to invest in blockchain technology, and leading blockchain experts in the conference programme.

"Blockchain is here to stay and we're here to help businesses realise its potential," said Thomas Standley, Technology Managing Director of the show organiser CloserStill Media."This isn't about ICOs and pitch battles, or the hype of Bitcoin. This is about serious, practical business applications of one of the most game-changing technologies we've seen for years. Across so many businesses and so many industries, blockchain and DLT can change the way we work and the way we interact with customers. We're here to help businesses through those changes."

Analysts are forecasting huge growth in the blockchain market, with double digit growth rates predicted. That means that big sums of money will soon be ploughed into blockchain projects, both in new businesses and existing large enterprises. Many of the people with access to those budgets will be attending Blockchain Technology World. The existing technology event stack already plays host to some of the biggest companies in the world across all industries, including HSBC, Tescos and British Gas.

It's this combination of the technical, business, ecosystem and investor audience, which last year was nearly 20,000 strong, that makes these events unique, and with the blockchain business booming, the event promises to be unmissable.

The event will feature:
• More use cases from live ‘real world’ blockchain projects than any other UK event
• Specialised market content, including dedicated Blockchain for key vertical markets and the public sector
• Skills and transformations workshops
• Enterprise DLT Zone
• Live demos
• Compliance and regulation explained, explored – blockchain demystified
