Blockchain Meetup @AUT(online)

Join a great line-up of panel speakers to explore Blockchain through a lens of uncertainty

What's it all about?

This Blockchain Meetup aims to provide an opportunity to share and develop skills and knowledge in a collaborative environment. Acting as a physical social network the Meetup provides connections between talent, technology, and knowledge to build the collective capabilities of the community.

The event will explore a theme of uncertainty. Uncertainty about who is doing what with our data, our financial future and privacy, and the role blockchain is going to play. 

The event will feature a conversation with our panel speakers, followed by Q&A and networking.

This event is hosted by AUT’s Computer and Mathematical Sciences department.

You can drop into this event at any time.
