Happy Friday. Welcome to the Weekend Update. Our goal with this weekly post is to share quick updates about online education, networking and collaboration opportunities and resources for the open source enterprise blockchain community.
If you have suggestions for resources or events that we should spotlight in a future Weekend Update, let us know here using #HLWeekendUpdate.
Consensus: Distributed
Consensus: Distributed is the free, virtual version of the annual event by CoinDesk. It runs from May 11 – 15. To join sessions and network, you need to register here. Once you are registered, please plan to stop by the Hyperledger virtual booth to connect with members and staff or to see demos of Hyperledger technologies in action.
Hyperledger’s Brian Behlendorf will be speaking at sessions on enterprise blockchain and the World Economic Foundation’s “Presidio Principals” for a decentralized future. There will also be a full hour of content on Hyperledger as part of the Foundations track, a new program at Consensus designed to put the spotlight on thriving blockchain ecosystems.
