This technology is believed to be the next generation of the Internet as it holds tremendous promise for individuals, businesses, governments, and organizations.

Blockchain is a decentralized public ledger that records data of digital assets and transactions across a peer-to-peer network. The data is secured with the highest level of cryptography and is locked in blocks. Overt-time, the blocks are cryptographically linked together to form a chain of blocks. This creates an immutable data that is stored on millions of computers running the blockchain nodes all over the world.

Ever since the advent of the blockchain technology, it has been disrupting many industries such as finance, healthcare, real estate, manufacturing, government, education, insurance, logistics, utilities, media, entertainment and many more. In order to educate the world at large about this revolutionizing technology, various technology communities have been making varying attempts at spreading the knowledge to aid mass adoption by organizing blockchain conferences across the world.
