The just-concluded Blocktech Women Conference #BWClagos2019 hosted by Doris Ojuderie of Blockchain Africa Ladies was a major blast. It was one of the first blockchain conferences hosted within the Lagos blockchain community in 2019. The event sought to promote blockchain in areas of awareness among women using Education and life-changing stories of the keynote speakers.
The conference with the theme: THE LOOMING FINANCIAL REVOLUTION; AN ENGINE FOR SOCIAL TRANQUIL had speakers from The United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Abuja and was attended by participants both locally based and those who came from neighbouring cities within Nigeria from different walks of life – some of which had no prior knowledge of the Blockchain Technology.
The conference schedule featured activities from Panel sessions (Why Arent There More Women in Blockchain and What Are The Future Trends of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies) to Training sessions( Crypto Trading Live, Programming skills and language, Entrepreneurship a Longrich Presentation). It also had a well-packaged workshop which gave participants practical knowledge to understanding blockchain and decentralization concepts.
The support from different blockchain communities for the lady-driven blocktech conference was second to none. Among many sponsors were Beepmagnet International Group – initiators of the sisiBox project, KubitX – Africa’s leading exchange built by Africans and for African, SiBAN – Nigeria’s Blockchain Stakeholders Association saddled with the task to self-regulate the industry within Nigeria, Dash Nigeria, Veritaseum Gold Platform built on the Blockchain, Nepsium – a swift crypto exchange platform and lots more.
Media practitioners were also represented in the conference, strategically to take feedback from attendees on the experience and delivery. e-blockbuzz, Zilla, Digivation, ADMP and Cryptotv Plus had more than enough content to share with their communities in the coming weeks.
As it stands Lagos ranks as one of the top cities in the worlds that conduct researches on the internet on the blockchain.
It is exciting to see women take the lead in the blockchain and if we must see blockchain penetrate the grassroots, we need more women in the space as they are the best educators, natural builders and great influencers of the future.
