You have probably heard of blockchain, bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But do you know the real impact it will have on our future society? Will it become the new money? Is there more to it than just digital currency? Should your company be investing resources for research and development? If so, how much and on what? Who is already way out ahead of the curve and has an extensive patent portfolio on the technology? Could it just be a fad that will soon fade away?

In Blockchain in the Boardroom, entrepreneur, author and speaker, Jen Wolfe, summarizes the hype about blockchain – why it matters, and what you need to know in the boardroom about how it will affect business throughout various industries.

Jen will provide a few highlights from her book including a layman’s approach to understanding blockchain technology, an overview of what large corporations and well-funded start-ups are doing with blockchain, how the potential blockchain revolution compares to past paradigm shifts, what we can learn from it, and what must happen for blockchain to become more than just hype and a practical approach for your organization. 

Jen is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, global IP strategist, and consultant for boards and c-suite executives on digital, cybersecurity, data privacy and emerging technologies. She is an NACD corporate governance fellow and faculty member, is certified in cybersecurity oversight, and a former GNSO Councilor of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers.
