In an era where digital assets are rapidly reshaping the global financial landscape, it is crucial to understand both the underlying technologies and the evolving legal and regulatory frameworks that govern them. This conference  explores the critical aspects of blockchain and cryptocurrency that are driving innovation and challenging traditional norms.

Our programme is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and issues that are shaping this dynamic field. We begin with an exploration of the fundamental principles of blockchain technology, delving into the mechanics of blocks, chains, nodes, and consensus mechanisms. This foundation will set the stage for a deeper understanding of how various cryptocurrencies operate on their respective blockchains, with a particular focus on popular digital currencies and their unique attributes.

The price for this conference is £249 + VAT. This is a per organisation price, so up to 20 of your colleagues can participate at absolutely no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. So, of course, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £24.90 per person.
