Dear Colleagues,
Despite the finance industry’s expenditure on technology being greater than any other industry, technology start-ups are
disintegrating traditional banking by taking on lending, payment and even investing services. In an age of near-constant
technological innovation, many incumbents are investing in fintech innovations to transform the way they can deliver
financial services.
With cumulative venture capital investment in blockchain technology peaking at $921 million in 2015 and multinational
banks and financial institutions including Citi, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan analyzing, testing or investing in blockchain
and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) to enable greater efficiency, security and lower costs. There has never been a
more critical time where innovation is so crucial to the success and survival of financial institutions.
Join us at the inaugural Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Distributed Ledger Forum to explore how innovative
technologies disrupt and revolutionize financial services. Hear from industry thought leaders and evangelists share
the various applications of blockchain technology in the finance sector and examine how to overcome the security and
privacy issues in distributed ledgers.
Through our carefully crafted agenda, you will have the opportunity to discuss how to embrace and cultivate disruptive
innovations with senior decision makers, thought leaders and evangelists in the APAC region. You will gain insight on
managing and adopting disruptive fintech innovations within your organization’s processes to transform how you deliver
financial services to your customers and envision what the future holds for blockchain technology in the financial sector.
Book your seats now and be where the financial technology visionaries around the region will gather! Mark

Introduction: From Bitcoin to Blockchain and Distributed Ledger: The Evolution of Cryptocurrency

Opening Address by Conference Chairman
UNDERSTANDING BLOCKCHAIN AND UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGIES
“Personal Computers in 1975, the Internet in 1993, and - I believe - Bitcoin in 2014.” - Marc Andreessen, Cofounder & General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz
With the emergence of Bitcoin in 2008, blockchain and distributed ledger technology surpass Bitcoin and emerged as the enabling forces behind Bitcoin’s ability to offer low-cost, secure, transparent and anonymous transactions. However, despite the hype and huge amount of investment around the technologies, few actually understand how they work and what they entail, especially given that the technologies are still in their infancy.

Frustrated by a corporate career in finance, working with such names as GE Capital, HSBC, and Lloyds Bank, Tim took the entrepreneurial leap of faith and plunged deep into Web 1.0 in February 1995, setting up an internet cafe-bar & restaurant and a web design house, which he sold in 2001, prior to calling Australia his home.
Here, he followed his passion for screenwriting, culminating in him writing, directing and co-producing an internationally award-winning feature film, 54 Days in 2014. When Tim came across the Blockchain for the first time in August last year he had that light bulb moment when he realised there was the chance to finally do something about film piracy and theft, and he set up Veredictum.io.
Tim is a regular speaker, writer and trainer on the strategic application of Blockchain.

10:00 IBM Global Financing Case Study: Using Blockchain to Minimize Disputed Transactions and Overcome Market Friction
For centuries market friction such as imperfect information, interaction and innovation has been the greatest barrier to wealth creation and is estimated to be costing global and local business billions of dollars due to a drag on efficiency. IBM Global Financing, a channel financing operation that spans a worldwide network of more than 4,000 suppliers and partners, is using Blockchain technology to resolve and reduce disputed transactions, historically in the order of 25,000 each year, which previously tied up around $100M in capital at any given time. IBM’s implementation of a distributed ledger for its business networks, based on blockchain technology, eliminated these frictions and transformed the way in which businesses work together and people interact. With everything in potential flux, from banking and airline reservation systems to social security and interactions with the department of motor vehicles, IBM is working with clients to explore how they too can leverage the benefits of blockchain. Dee McGrath, Vice President, Financial Services IBM Asia Pacific, will explain why IBM is investing so heavily in this disruptive technology and building out an ecosystem of partners and clients to rapidly advance the adoption of distributed ledger technology across industry.
APPLICATION OF BLOCKCHAIN, DLT AND SMART CONTRACTS IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY
“Blockchain tech can save capital markets $6 billion a year” - Goldman Sachs
Although these technologies are in high demand right now, their full potential and commercial use cases have yet to be proven profitable. Therefore, it is critical for companies to be exposed to a wide range of the applications of blockchain, smart contracts and DLT to be able to examine the commercially viable model for their own organizations to adopt or invest in them.

11:20 Roadmap for Successful Implementation - Reducing Costs with Blockchain in Equity Capital Markets
• The reality for large firms adopting new market infrastructure technology and a discussion on whether an Uber moment could evolve within Equity Capital Markets.

quo begins.• Driving to an outcome will require firms to align to allies in the competition for
success in Blockchain adoption.• Who are the early adoptions in Equity Capital Markets- could conversion be
retail or buy side lead?

WORKSHOP A: 09:00 - 13:00
The Distributed Future: Application of Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Distributed Ledger Technology Beyond Financial Services To be conducted by Tim Lea, CEO, Veredictum.io
1. Intro to the Blockchain - comparing it to the internet of 1994/5, where email was the first use case and TCP/IP was the underlying technology. With Blockchain bitcoin was the first use case and Blockchain the underlying technology.
2. Top level view of the VC market for bitcoin/Blockchain - following the smart money shows where the industry is heading3. What is the Blockchain? An intro in layman’s terms - with some technical aspects highlighted 4. The Power of the Blockchain - the 5 core pillars of strength5. The Disadvantages of the Blockchain - the 5 core dangers and risks6. PRACTICAL EXCERCISE: The practicality of the Blockchain - opening up a cryptocurrency wallet (going on line) - with the audience
ideally opening up a wallet via their smart phones. I will send them each some bitcoin crytpotcurrency - this all shows the difficulty in on-ramping into and out of crytpotcurrency - it helps them understand the challenges of mass adoption first hand
7. The use of the Blockchain - global use cases - in Fintech and property - deep diving into 4 use case studies including the ASX - showing the advantages that can be brought from Blockchain. Cases studies will include - Proof of concept with Honduran government and property, international remittances
8. The use of the Blockchain - global use cases - ideas outside the Fintech space - Everledger - diamond provenance, will talk very loosely about our Blockchain ideas for protecting videos - shows practical usage and gets the attendees to think about areas outside of their space.
9. Smart contracts - What are they how do they work and why they are the potential killer app for the Blockchain. 10. The future of the Blockchain - IOT and convergence with the Blockchain - Case Study - Slock.it - with their smart locks 11. PRACTICAL EXCERCISE - 30 minutes in teams of four to spend 20 minutes exploring an idea based on what we have been talking
about. 2 minute pitch by each team and 5 minutes discussion of the ideas.12. The Initial Coin Offering - a new financing structure that is disrupting venture capital 13. The Decentralised Autonomous Organisation - the concept and ideas - governance by computer code 14. The DAO - the world’s largest crowdfunding campaign that no-one’s heard of ($168m funds raised back in May )15. The DAO attack and its implications for the adoption of the Blockchain (June through July)16. Discussion and Q & A - this latter point 15 will open up debate as it is questioning the very essence of the Blockchain and the potential
inhibiting factors to its adoption.
Workshop Timetable: Workshop A will run from 9.00am - 1.00pm with mid-morning and luncheon breaks. Workshop B will run from 2.00pm - 5.00pm with a mid-afternoon refreshment break. Registration begins 30 minutes before each workshop commences.
