Hi there, It seems some "Blockchain Innovation Conference" took place in The Netherlands on June 22nd. The pro: it is spoken in English for us to understand ;-) The con (or second pro if you wish) : you get a full recorded coverage of the entire day's event. So take out some popcorn and sit down for a 10 hour recording! https://blockchaininnovationconference.com/ Click "Full Conference" for the live recording. There is enough to be heard, also the critical minds like David Birch. Some banks were there too: Chairman of Rabobank at 2h:46 , ("I visited Ripple personally in 2014, didn't get it but we tested it, it worked in the test, but we moved on") and ING at 9h:04 ("growing pains inside banks" in relation to blockchain). You may find both the banking guys to be a tad underinformed on the solutions Ripple Inc. is nowadays offering with ILP . And don't forget Chris Skinner at the end. (And NO, I did not see all of this recording!) Here's a quick copy of the day's agenda (can be found on the website too): Session 1: Opening Conference Speakers - Vincent Everts (Conference Director)- Dennis de Vries (Lead Digital Ledger Services Netherlands, KPMG - Trust in the 21st century)- Bart Mellink (Gartner - The Gartner position on blockchain adoption)- David Birch (Director of Innovation, Consult Hyperion - 'Blockchain is not a technology, it's a religion')- Wiebe Draijer (Chairman of the Executive Board Rabobank)- Cora van Nieuwenhuizen (Member European Parliament - FinTech Reporter)- Egbert-Jan Sol (TNO, Radboud University - National Blockchain Alliance)- Surprise act Session 2: Keynote presentations and debate Speakers - Vincent Everts (Conference Director) - Marc van der Chijs (Founder/CEO Global Data Chain, Managing Partner CrossPacific Capital - Fireside chat on venture capital Blockchain investment trends in Asia and beyond)- Richard Kastelein (Publisher and founder http://www.the-blockchain.com/ - The emergence of Token Sale or Initial Coin Offering)- Rene Kerkmeester (Digital Transformation Lead - TenneT)- Leo Dijkstra (Industry Lead Utilities Benelux - IBM GBS)- Joris Geertman (Director Portfolio & Innovation - KPN)- Rutger van Zuidam (Owner of DutchChain.com, Organizer Dutch Blockchain Hackathon)- Raphael Davison (Worldwide Director for Blockchgin, HPE - The blockchain revolution, ultimate industry disruptor) - Jan-Peter Doomernik (Enexis) - Alex Bausch (co-chairman BECON.global - blockchain ecosystem network)- Marloes Pomp (Curator Public track) - Conny Dorrestijn (Curator Business track) - Paul Bessems (Curator Technology track) Final session: Closing talk Speakers - Vincent Everts (Conference Director)- Ling Kong (CTO Dianrong - Blockchain application in supply chain)- Ivar Wiersma (Head of Innovation - ING - Growing pains of blockchain) - Jan-Peter Doomernik (Enexis - (How) can energy be free?
