Topic Abstract
Fake news” is not a new problem. From yellow journalism in the 19th century to today’s pay-to-play outlets, murky motives and misinformation have always stood between the public and trust in media. In recent years, of course, “fake news” has been weaponized as a political tool. Trust has eroded to dangerously low levels.
We cannot come at this problem with yesterday’s tools. Upvoting articles, downvoting headlines, creating white lists — though admirable, these solutions fail to recognize that “fake news” isn’t always “fake.” The issue is more often one of slant and bias, and we cannot expect Facebook, Google or Twitter to build filters against subjectivity.
Instead, restoring the public’s trust in media requires a decentralized approach. Wherever you get your news — cable news, Facebook, your phone — it’s important to know who’s behind the news:
Can you trust a local news anchor who recites an op-ed about Beltway politics?
Can you trust an online reviewer who gives five stars to a trendy
mattress brand?
Can you trust the CEO who condemns a regulatory initiative in a
Forbes article?
In this talk, award-winning journalist Jeff Koyen will explore how blockchain technology can be used in the fight against fake news.

Topic Abstract
The world has been in a frenzy over the price and perceived utility of Bitcoin and smart contract-based digital assets, but little attention has been given to the trillions of dollars of real-world assets and like financial instruments that can be tokenized and transacted with on regulated financial platforms. The transformation of real-world assets into tokenized securities that exist on blockchains presents one of the greatest leaps forward in financial technology.
In this talk, we will look into the securities tokens arms race, their associated capabilities, risks and market fragmentation,
as well as the need for regulated platforms. Whether it be
big banks and institutions or new incumbents, financial disruption
is imminent. Understanding more of the positioning of established
players and new market entrants will be critical as we make
progress in this new realm of global asset interaction.

Topic Abstract
Today’s opaque advertising ecosystem allows waste and fraud to flourish. For blockchain technology to work efficiently and one day eliminate many of these problems in the space, stakeholders must first understand and embrace self-effectuating smart legal contracts.
We need a standardized set of rules to operate within in order to enable outside capital to enter the market. In this presentation, Carolina Abenante, Founder, Vice-Chairperson, and General Counsel of NYIAX, will discuss how blockchain technology has enabled smart-contracts, which are transforming the way various industries are exchanging value and digital assets. During this session, attendees will learn what smart-contracts are and how they can help bring transparency and accountability to the ever-changing ad tech landscape

Topic Abstract
The red-hot ICO market has unleashed a tremendous amount of capital to help fuel new businesses and drive innovation. Entrepreneurs can now raise 10’s to 100’s of millions of capital from a global network of retail investors over a relatively short period of time. What used to typically take companies 5-7yrs and multiple rounds of financing is now being achieved in months, and in some cases only a few days or minutes.
Besides the cases of fraud, hacks, and scandal-- there are also questions around how much is too much? What about investor education and protection? And will any of them actually succeed?
