SUMMARY:Humanitarian Blockchain Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Humanitarian Blockchain Summit will bring technology experts\, scholars\, and humanitarian practitioners together for dynamic discussions about the future of blockchain technology in humanitarian operations and in pursuit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. \nBlockchain technology holds great potential for improving these operations—whether it’s used to transfer cash to disaster victims\, coordinate the delivery of supplies\, streamline humanitarian financing\, or make humanitarian projects more gender-inclusive. \nThe summit is designed for those interested in using blockchain for tangible humanitarian impact. Breakout sessions will focus on overcoming challenges to using blockchain\, as well as identifying the best ways to develop humanitarian-friendly blockchain platforms\, among other topics. The sessions will also include collaborative exercises and presentations about how some organizations are using blockchain. \nThe goal of the event is for participants to recommend policies for using blockchain in specific humanitarian interventions.
