“As with any emerging technology, the freedom for blockchain developers to be innovative and for vendors to be competitive is critical. Alongside regulation, standards have a role to play in establishing market confidence to support the roll out of blockchain technology. The APAC conference will be an opportunity to discuss how we can create the structures to see blockchain applied across a broad spectrum of sectors including financial services, consumer products and services, government and business.”

Bronwyn Evans Chief Executive Officer Standards Australia

“Innovation drives the economy - blockchain is a tool for innovation. The door to digital ingenuity will be open at this APAC Blockchain Conference.”

Mick Motion-Wise Technology Architect Federal Government

“It is essential for financial institutions to engage and invest in blockchain solutions as a priority, if they want to future proof themselves against the massive wave of disruption that is on their near horizon.”

In-depth learning session A (Standard)

Innovating on the blockchain – how to increase value, streamline process, reduce costs for public and private organisations

Avoiding the hype surrounding blockchain’s potential is near impossible, however this does not mean it is the answer to everything, and it is critical to differentiate between where blockchain technologies will transform current operations, and where the existing process is performing well enough. Designed for CIOs, CTOs, CEOs and division heads from across industry sectors, this in-depth session has been design to help you identify areas within your organisation that can be improved significantly with blockchain technology – and also those which cannot. It will explore your current operations and will identify how blockchain will create a new way to do things.

• Identifying commercial use-cases of the blockchain for your organisation

• Detectingwhere underlying problems and frictions exist in your organisation that will be alleviated by blockchain technologies

• Exploringnew applications and services that could be run on blockchain technologies, and which should not

• Examining the rewards and risks and ascertain whether it is worth proceeding to a proof of concept

• Usingblockchain as a tool for innovation across your organisation

• Understanding what would change if you embraced blockchain and how to prepare for this
