The Blockchain Conference -February 10th, 2016 (San Francisco)

"But what is the reality of adoption, what are the opportunities across different verticals and what are the business and technology challenges to making block chain a mainstream approach?
– what makes block chains and smart contracts better than established technologies?

It’s time to deliver some clarity and honesty to the block chain debate - and that will happen at The Block Chain Conference."
