Sir Richard Branson Hosts Third Annual #Blockchain Summit On His Private Island.
The technology that made it possible — blockchain — is being adopted by corporations such as IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Visa and Intel, while non-governmental organizations such as the World Economic Forum, World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are exploring or even testing its possibilities.
The ambitious agenda will explore how blockchain technology can be applied in everything from economic empowerment to identity, music, conservation, ocean protection — with the latter three especially fitting topics, given Branson’s work in music and conservation — and more.
Additional speakers include Brian Forde and Michael Casey of MIT, singer Imogen Heap, Conservation International President Jennifer Morrison, Saadia Madsbjerg of the Rockefeller Foundation, Young Sohn of Samsung Electronics, Gigi Brisson, founder of OceanElders, Bitpesa founder and CEO Elizabeth Rossiello and Vinny Lingham, founder of blockchain identity startup Civic.
