Much like the internet in its early days, Blockchain may seem difficult to understand and forecast, but it could become pervasive in the exchange of payments, goods, services, information, contracts, and interactions among organizations and individuals. Beginning with a brief history of Blockchain technology and a short technical overview, we will explore the significance of Blockchain in the marketplace, strengths and weaknesses, current and emerging applications, as well as the possibilities for the expanded use of Blockchain in business, government, and not-for-profit organizations.
Anna Sidorova, Associate Professor of Information Systems, University of North Texas

  • Guest fees, if applicable, are payable by credit card in advance at the time of registration.  See ‘Cancellation’ for refund information.

  • Guests generally may not attend chapter meetings on a repeated basis.  A notable exception is that chapter members’ financial staff are invited to the Summer Professional Development Series at no charge as a value-add to members, and may attend more than one session.

  • Guests may not serve in a business development role for a firm that provides products or services to financial executives unless specifically approved in advance.

  • Not all chapter events are open to guests.  Refer to the registration section on meeting notices for guest information.
