Summary of Last Week

Buidl Boston Executive Forum Look-Back Reflections

Last week, we published a recap video of the 2/23/2023 BBA pilot session, “BUIDL Boston 2023 Executive Forum.” In development since last summer, it was intentionally designed to give executives in industry, government, and academia a place to gather, listen, and discuss the essentials of blockchain technology and its broader implications and applications. The amazing room in Kendall Square was graciously donated by the legendary John Werner at Link Ventures. The event was made possible by generous funding from BBA corporate sponsors Mass Tech Collaborative, NEACH, and Algorand Foundation.

See the recap video here. Reactions, comments, and reposts on the LinkedIn update are most welcome.
