A new technology called ‘Blockchain’ or ‘Distributed Hyperledger’ is emerging that has
the potential to be as disruptive and transformative as the arrival of the ‘Internet Era’. This
technology has the capability to fundamentally change the way business processes and
transactions are handled between people, businesses and devices. Blockchain is the
technology underpinning the rise of cryptocurrencies like ‘Bitcoin’ and ‘Ether’ which allow
peer to peer transfers of anything of value (e.g. electronic cash). This talk will introduce blockchain
