Blockchain@UBC- Industry Night
We will be hosting an Industry Night for our community of Faculty Members, Industry Partners, Postdoctoral Fellows and students to meet with the attendees of the International Standards Organization’s meetings of Technical Committee 307 on Blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technologies that we have the honour of hosting from January 26-31.
Geoff Goodell will be our featured presenter. He is the Convener of the ISO working group on Foundations of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies.
Title of Presentation:
Distributed Ledger Technology and the Future of Regulation
Abstract:
We identify five areas in which distributed ledger technology and analytics will shape how people engage in the marketplaces of the future: payments, contracts, tax, trading, and identity. We describe the features of new technology that will frame new developments in each area, the challenges and opportunities for businesses and governments, and the implications for society and the public interest.
