The featured Keynote speaker, Dr. Robert Brown will share his wisdom gained from decades of working with world leaders,
industry titans, and civil rights leaders. The Washington Post called him a "World Class Power Broker". Just some of his
many accomplishments include:Key advisor to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Involved in the Robert Kennedy campaignSpecial Assistant to President Richard NixonClose friend and confidant of Nelson MandelaConsulted with many prominent US corporations on race relations and crisis managementWorked on the committee that established the legislation creating the Office of Minority Business Enterprise within the
US Department of CommerceHe signed the documents that increased funding for historical black colleges & universities under President NixonServes on the boards of numerous universities and corporationsHe holds eleven honorary doctorate degrees from prestigious institutions of higher learning.
Dr. Brown has handled communications and race relations during pivotal moments of the civil rights movement. His ability
to build bridges between Democrats and Republicans during the Civil Rights heyday, makes him an exceptional choice for
blockchain leaders who will face inevitable backlash as this technology revolutionizes the landscape for many in power.
How are we to move forward in a respectful and mutually beneficial manner?
As blockchain technology continues to disrupt every industry, GBA influencers will need to hear the lessons learned from
this icon of history.

frontier in the economic landscape," says Gerard Dache, Executive Director, GBA.
