Sponsor Deck 2018
ABOUT THE LAB The Marquette University Blockchain Lab is a student- run organization that aims to facilitate education and collaboration in the interest of advancing knowledge and implementation of distributed ledger solutions. Since our inception in November 2017, we have seen a vibrant mix of engagement from companies, community members, and students. We host educational events, collaborate with other universities to develop content surrounding distributed ledger technology (DLT), and work with community partners to engage the larger community. Past events include the Supply Chain Management on Blockchain, the inaugural Milwaukee Blockchain Conference, and the Blockchain Meets Manufacturing panel. Upcoming events include the Solidity Development Workshop in partnership with DApperNetwork and the 2nd Annual Milwaukee Blockchain Conference.
EVENT TYPES
The Marquette Blockchain Lab caters to two different audiences: students
and community members. We hold different events throughout the year for
each of these audiences. See below for details.
L AB SPONSORED TRIPS
In partnership with other organizations, the lab sponsors trips for students to
attend blockchain events around the country. In April, students drove down
to Chicago and attended Distributed Markets. Students learned from experts
in government and finance about topics such as security tokens, compliance,
and the role of VC in blockchain. The students also had the opportunity to
network with some of the world’s most successful blockchain entrepreneurs
including Jeremy Gardner, the founder of prediction markets platform, Augur.
WORKSHOPS
Lab sponsored workshops help community members
and students get hands on experience and problem
solve. On June 23rd, the lab will be hosting an
Ethereum development workshop with DApperNetwork.
Students and community members will have the
opportunity to program their first decentralized
application. Registration details here.
PANELS
These have been our bread and butter. In March 2018, the lab hosted a panel on
blockchain in supply chain management. The event was moderated by Dr. Mark
Cotteleer, Research Director at Deloitte and the panelists included Chris Kirchner,
CEO at Slync.io, and Paul Biwer, the Director of Product Development at Biwer and
Associates. We had over 60 attendees. On June 6th, we were joined by guest Jeff
Allen, Global Business Systems Leader at Lucas Milhaupt on our Blockchain Meets
Manufacturing panel. We had record attendance and audience engagement.
EXPERT DISCUSSIONS
Small groups allow for vibrant conversation. In
February 2018, Derek Urben, CFO of Coinigy,
came to Marquette for an intimate discussion
with students on the growth of cryptocurrencies
and current barriers to adoption. Students left the
discussion with a basic understanding Bitcoin and
how it solved the problem of digital scarcity.
CONFERENCES
In November 2017, the Marquette Blockchain Lab hosted Wisconsin’s
first blockchain conference. The event brought in over 300 people with
keynote speakers from Northwestern Mutual, Von Briesen & Roper,
Fiserv, and Wipfli. Attendees learned about banking applications, legal
ramifications, and security concerns. We anticipate an even higher
turnout for our 2nd Annual Milwaukee Blockchain Conference on
October 30th, 2018.
