Day 1: 
January 17, 2018
Venue TBA

"How Blockchain Works"
with Sloane Brakeville, Founder of FR8 and Formerly Blockchain Specialist at IBM

PRESENTATION WITH SLIDES

Before diving into blockchain systems design, it's important to have a grasp of how money and contracts work, historically speaking.  In this presentation, Sloane Brakeville will teach you how currency is established, how money works, basic terminology relating to the blockchain, about contracts, securities, and then we'll hand the mic over to Nisa to teach everyone about Ethereum.  


"Designing Decentralized Applications" 
with Nisa Andrews, Product Designer at Uber
& Independent Decentralized Apps Designer 

PRESENTATION WITH SLIDES + CASE STUDIES

For this UXNight, designer Nisa Andrews will teach us about Ethereum, how blockchain works, and she'll show us the difference in systems architecture when designing for a blockchain app.  Nisa will also showcase case studies of Decentralized Apps she's worked on including WeTrust and PayEthForward.

You'll learn about terms like distributed ledgers, initial coin offerings, how companies are raising millions of dollars in seconds, and the token system.  You'll also learn how this new system design works in the favor of individuals instead of corporations.
