Bitcoin Conference
Blockchain Agenda, a global blockchain conference that is now meeting in 10 major cities in the world, will be held at KINTEX in Ilsan for three days from Dec. 9.
A blockchain is a public ledger that is viewable by anyone in the world, and is distributed via the torrent protocol. A key example using this technology is virtual currency bitcoin. Since it can store any form of data and can be directly transacted by users, it is also used in stock trading in the U.S.-based NASDAQ.
The event will host speeches from 50 global leading guest speakers, two track 40 sessions and technology exhibitions, attended by both virtual money and fintech startups. Also, it will be largely divided into two sections; exhibition and international conference.
The first day of international conference will be the tutorial day to offer basic instructions like foreign currency remittance and investment, by making use of bitcoin and blockchain. On the second day, bitcoin billionaire Roger Ver will deliver the keynote address and about 30 speakers will appear in the two track of 17 sessions in total.
On the last day, fintech special sessions will take place which is officially sponsored by Global Fintech Advanced Research Institute. Starting with the keynote speech of Simon Dixon, a fintech expert who worked for years at the UK Crowdfunding Association and the UK Digital Currency Association, there will be debates on various fintech-related topics, including the IoT payment settlement, fintech security, non-face-to-face authentication system and online-to-offline (O2O) commerce platform establishment.
