Hedera Hashgraph – The future of blockchain (An IITPSA KZN Chapter Event)
November 14, 2018 @ 18:00 - 20:00
The Hedera Hashgraph platform provides a new form of distributed consensus. A way for people who don’t know or trust each other to securely collaborate and transact online without the need for a trusted intermediary. The platform is lightning fast, fair, and secure and, unlike some blockchain-based platforms, doesn’t require compute-heavy proof-of-work. Hedera enables and empowers developers to build an entirely new class of decentralized applications that were never before possible. This event is a joint effort between the Hashgraph community and the IITPSA.
Agenda
- A brief ten minute talk on the IITPSA and the benefits of joining the organization.
- Mark Pape, a local Hashgraph ambassador will introduce Hashgraph and briefly explain the technology and benefits.
- Jordan Fried, Hedera’s SVP of Global Business Development will be virtually presenting updates about the Hedera public ledger and a recap of the Hedera18 Developer conference.
