In 2017, blockchains have definitely gone mainstream. Every major vendor and consulting firm seems to be offering blockchain solutions to business problems. However, a large amount of the coverage is still driven by vaporware and a certain measure of hype. How can architects move beyond the noise to determine whether a blockchain is actually useful for their projects?
Join Ben Evans to learn the basic technology underlying the blockchain, explore real use cases, and find out how to avoid antipatterns.
Topics include:

Hi Ben,
thanks for sharing your knowledge during the conference. I couldn’t attend your session and was wondering if you will be posting your slides to be used as reference later?
Thanks in advance for posting,
