“While some still regard Bitcoin and other forms of digital currency with skepticism, more and more blue-chip companies are investing time and resources into studying the distributed ledger,” said Moe Levin, Keynote 2015’s founder. “It behooves everyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve to learn as much as they can about this groundbreaking technology, and this conference is creating the perfect environment for that education.”

Open to beginners and those already familiar with this disruptive technology, attendees will get the chance to learn about the distributed ledger and the most optimal ways to use it, including immediate implementation.
