Black Wealth & Blockchain

The old mainframe digital technology managed data in batches. Today, we manage digital data in real time over the Internet. Blockchain has the ability to change all aspects of the digital economy, including conducting business, delivering healthcare, shopping, enhancing education and learning, entertainment, and staying connected with a social world.

During this session, we will discuss what blockchain is, the technology’s top use cases, why it’s considered a major part of the next Industrial Revolution, the path to mass adoption, and the top opportunities for black professionals in the industry.

Companies are set to make millions of dollars managing data on blockchains. Healthcare, supply chain, education, identity, voting and other pieces of information will be kept on blockchain. Global blockchain technology in healthcare market is anticipated to cross $1.6 billion by the year 2025. Blockchain in Supply Chain is set to reach $3.4 billion by 2023. During this session, we will discuss job and business opportunities available.

The tokenization of assets refers to the process of issuing a blockchain token (specifically, a security token) that digitally represents a real tradable asset. The tokenized asset market is forecasted to be $24 trillion by 2027, tokenization is the future and we want to be included in this transformational technology. During this session, our group will tokenize a piece of inexpensive black art (valued at no more than $25) so you can see the process and you can own a fraction of it once we're done. We will also discuss the business and job opportunities available.

We have invited a panel of representatives from some of the Fortune 500 companies who are actively participating in the blockchain industry. Our panel will discuss employment opportunities within the industry and the best opportunities for professionals who do not code.

Named as one of the top women, “leaving their mark on the MedTech field in health IT,” by Becker’s Hospital Review, Chrissa McFarlane is the Founder and CEO of Patientory, Inc., headquartered in Atlanta. McFarlane founded Patientory in December 2015 after seeing the need in the market for more personalized and secure consumer-driven health information management solutions.

Chrissa will share her journey with us, discuss opportunities in the blockchain industry, and enlighten the audience on how we can OWN a piece of the blockchain pie.

Did you know if 10,000 of us got together and put $100 into a pot, we would raise $1 million? With $1 million, many of our techpreneurs could successfully launch their projects. We will discuss how we make this dream a reality including legal setup, marketing and promotion, and getting black people on board with this idea. We will also discuss leveraging Opportunity Zones, crowdfunding, & tokenization. Raising funds to start and grow our own companies is essential to our success. So let’s brainstorm.

Time to mingle and do business. No alcohol will be served.
