My name is Vincent Everts, I'm a trend watcher and in 2014 I got inspired by the use of blockchain solution inside the organization and started a yearly blockchain innovation conference called BIC. We have the goal to drive meaningful insights and change insights specifically large organization which at the backbone of our society and really need to innovate. On June the 7th, 2019 we will organize the 6th annual event of BIC 19 which will be hosted by ABN MRO. More than 350 national and international pioneers from start-ups, scale-ups, public academia and private sector will dive deeper into practical changes with blockchain technology is bringing. Topics that will be discussed across industry, themes include the world of finance, sustainability, government and identity. And of course there will be again the blockchain for good session according to Bloomberg a free trillion dollar opportunity and it's hosted in the circle building a sustainable and circular place built by ABN MRO. Yuri Hendrix, manager of blockchain lab. Why do you host the blockchain innovation conference this year? Well actually we did the first one as well, we hosted as well and we've seen the ones after that and they were great and now we think we want to open the doors again to work together with competitors, with colleagues, with customers to build new ecosystems and have blockchain technology as a foundation for that. My aim has always been to design the blockchain innovation conference so that we combine high level overviews with tangible practical case studies with a lot of interaction with the participants, eventually coming to a common vision and a practical steps into the future. Our first editions of BIC focused on possible use cases and proof of concepts. The 2018 edition focused on the production of blockchain solutions which were being created. And the 2019 edition will go one step further, we're going to explore how these production blockchain initiatives are working. Do they make processes smarter? More effective? Which industries are really changing? How are they combined with tech like big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things? After five events I'm getting impatient for real change. We have a great line up of speaker from all around the world, soon we will reveal the first batch. We will again be working closely together with passionate partners which have included ABN MRO, Rabobank, ING, KPMG, HPE, KPN and XS, Bitfury and others. Let us know do you have a working application, result from tangible project that our community should know about? Inspire us and you might get interviewed on video or invited on stage. I'll see you on June 7th in Amsterdam.
