On Friday June 21 we hosted another 1-day developer education event: [Blockchain Developer Summit](https://blockchain-developer-summit.splashthat.com/) (our previous event is [here](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/we-hosted-our-first-1-day-event-here-is-what-worked-well-1dpi) and [here](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/ai-ml-developer-summit-in-10-pictures-fj3)). The event was a huge success with over 140 technologists in attendance. Here are 10 pictures (or more) from the event.
