Recent reports on the blockchain technology have generated both, optimistic and pessimistic, conversations in the business community. Blockchain’s professed improvement in security, transparency, efficiency and collaboration are attractive attributes but how does blockchain change the way businesses operate every day? Are we ready for the change? Is blockchain really the future?
During our informative interactive workshop, Don Miller, the V.P. Global Sales and Marketing at Globe Tracker ApS, will not only explain how blockchain works, but will also use examples of some ongoing blockchain initiatives in the shipping industry to demonstrate the impact of this technology on all parts of the supply chain. He will also add another perspective--one of freight forwarders. Who will protect their interests? Who will lead the change?
