The Blockchain NZ Event - Media release
April 2017
Blockchain leaders coming to New Zealand
Blockchain is a revolution of technology that acts as a global spreadsheet that is programmed to record transactions of
value. The information on blockchain exists as a shared database that is continually reconciled. Because the database is
not stored in one single location, there is no centralized version for a hacker to corrupt and records are truly public
and easily verifiable. This technology is disrupting industries such as FinTech, AgriTech and legal services through
Smart Contracts.
The Blockchain NZ event is bringing the best minds in the industry to New Zealand as part of the New Zealand Tech Week
event series.
The Blockchain NZ 2017 is a 3-day conference set in Auckland from May 8th – 10th.
The conference brings top speakers from around the world (including keynotes Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, and
Andreas M. Antonopoulos, author of “Mastering Bitcoin” and “The Internet of Money”) for a series of presentations, panel
discussions, workshops, and networking events.
