Introduction to the Future of Data Management - Blockchain & The Top 15 Opportunities for Black Professionals.
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.

Making Money through Tokenization of Assets.
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.

Funding Our Own Technology Projects.
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.
