Blockchain Basics Salon
In 2016, I began exploring VR/AR and saw alignment with AI and blockchain technologies. In late 2017 I dove into cryptocurrency consulting, saw the lack of diversity in this space that reflected my early days in tech and felt compelled to address it.
The Blockchain Basics Salon was born in May 2018 and we have 30 signups to date. We meet monthly to discuss the basics and learn how this technology can be applied to real world use cases. Interests cover Fintech, PR, Digital Marketing, Insurance and Media. Sessions are not recorded to create a safe space for questions and feedback.
We are in the early days of blockchain and have an opportunity to defy current socio-economic divides.
Together we can:
learn more about the technology
identify career change opportunities
diversify blockchain communities & solutions
