Coinsilium, a London-based blockchain technology development and investment company, will run the inaugural Blockchain Tech Lab, from 11 to 17 April 2016.

The lab is a comprehensive and intensive blockchain tech course that will give developers access to the top innovators and architects in the blockchain space, which will help them to build their own applications through theory and practical sessions.

“We have developed Blockchain Tech Lab with the developer skills gap in mind. No other course gives you the same access to the blockchain experts. Through theory and practical they will guide towards building your own proof-of-concept”, the website reads.

Speaker include Jonas Nick, engineer at Blockstream; Sergio Lerner, chief scientist at Rootstock; Adrian Eidekman, CTO Rootstock; Ken Kappler, Head of Business Development at Ethcore; Flavien Charlon, Coinprism founder; Peter Kirby, Factom CEO; and Steven Sprague, Rivetz CEO.

“We wanted to bring the leading minds in blockchain technology to London for a unique week-long program of theory and hands-on sessions. The objective is to bridge the blockchain skills gap and trigger the development of real-world applications of blockchain technologies”, Coinsilium CEO Eddy Travia told CHAIN-FINANCE.

The lab encourages developers across all industries to participate. Importantly, the course is only for developers and coding skills are mandatory (PHP/Java/Ruby/Python or equivalent).
