The New Fork

Date change: Instead of the 28th and 29th of May the online blockchain masterclass will take place on the 25th and 26th of June. You will be able to learn about the basics of Blockchain and its potential impact on economies, supply chains and financial structures connected with real life use cases. Blockchain technology is one of the most important key factors for the future. Just to cite Marieke: "It is not a question IF you have to do something with blockchain, it is WHEN you have to do something with blockchain."
