To set the context the for the third day of our conference, Tejinder will share his perspectives on Blockchain adoption. The breadth of blockchain use cases has meant that the journey to adoption has been both fascinating and often confusing for corporate leaders and policymakers alike. We've seen significant investment from large enterprises and governments, yet many high-profile blockchain projects have struggled to get out of first gear and and others have failed altogether. What can we learn from these emerging successes and failures? What are the potential future benefits and risks, in the context of business and commerce? What are the barriers to blockchain adoption, and how might things unfold from here?
