The Chamber of Digital Commerce and the Congressional Blockchain Caucus are hosting Congressional Blockchain Education Day today, 11 July 2017.

The event will bring together Chamber’s member companies, members of the U.S. congress, Senators and their staffs to bring awareness to the importance of blockchain technology. According to the official website, tech titan Microsoft, along with blockchain startups Symbiont and Bloq, is co-hosting the initiative with participation from over 60 blockchain companies on Capitol Hill.

“A growing number of enterprises are experimenting with blockchain as a secure and transparent way to digitally track the ownership of assets, opening new opportunities for cross-organizational collaboration and imaginative new business models,” said Microsoft Principal Program Manager, Blockchain Engineering, Craig Hajduk. “Microsoft’s vision is to help companies thrive in this era of secure multi-party computation, delivering open, scalable platforms and services that any company, from ledger startups to governments, health organizations to global banks, can use to create new value.”

The one-day event will include a smart contracts briefing at 12:00pm in Rayburn House Office Building 2020 that will feature a technology demonstration by Symbiont, the technology partner for the Delaware Blockchain Initiative. Members of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus will address the national gathering of entrepreneurs at a cocktail reception in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center Atrium at 5:00pm.

“We are delighted that so many of the Chamber’s members are flying in to Washington, D.C. to meet with and help educate our legislators and their staff on this breakthrough and potentially multi-trillion-dollar technology,” said Chamber of Digital Commerce Founder and President Perianne Boring. “We’re honored that participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from Members of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus.”
