YBlockchain? Webinar Series
Last fall, we partnered with Yale SOM alumna, Diana Barrero Zalles ’17, to provide a monthly blockchain webinar series. We started an honest inquiry into this new technology: going beyond the hype to explore where it makes sense and how it can transform industries. Speakers discuss the most relevant topics in this fast-changing and exciting space. #YaleBlockchain
