Why DC, Why Now?
The objective of the Black Blockchain Summit is to generate innovative and lasting solutions that disrupt our currently unsustainable position within emergent technologies. We seek to bring lasting prosperity and independence via blockchain solutions as envisaged by freedom fighters and liberators in the “Arusha Declaration”.
The Black Blockchain Summit conference agenda is diverse; our speakers will discuss blockchain technology solutions in a BARAZA format, an interactive debate format of the Swahili language.
We believe, through diligent use of technology; problems facing Black societies globally can be mitigated leveraging Blockchain technology. Come and be a part of the discourse!
