This year’s conference, to be held at the Focus Rooms in Sunninghill, Johannesburg, offers a platform to showcase the use-cases, opportunities and challenges that blockchain technology and digital currencies face in Africa. The discussions will encompass identity, payments, remittances, and settlement and clearing, to name a few examples.

There’ll also be dialogues around smart contracts and blockchain-as-a-service, and industry experts will discuss regulation, security, scalability and tax compliance.
