Blockchain. What, why, when and how, by Montserrat Guardia

Programa de continuidad | Spanish

November 21 OF 2018 from 07:00 PM to 08:30 PM

ESADE Alumni invites you to this refresher programme talk entitled ''Blockchain. What, why, when and how'', by Montserrat Guardia, lecturer on the ESADE Executive Master in Finance Management.

Information technologies are constantly developing great new features. Some features, due to changes in their design and user interface, are visible, but some are invisible due to the most radical innovation: framework and software architecture invisible to end users. Blockchain technologies not only offer end users great new invisible features of this type but will also impact their personal and professional lives enormously in the very near future. These broad-based technologies span most industries and improve over time. As they develop, they are expected to become increasingly cheaper and more innovative. What they are, why they emerge and how and when they can be used, are the topics to be discussed.
