Black Blockchain Summit: Cryptocurrency Event In Washington, DC

What Is Black Blockchain Summit?

The Black Blockchain Summit 2018, expected to be one of the world’s largest black blockchain event, is a two-day summit that seeks to connect Blockchain enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and thinkers from around the world to discuss the issues and challenges that black communities face globally. The Howard University in Washington DC will host the event in September 2018.

The summit aims at discovering innovative and long-lasting solutions to some of the challenges the black communities face such as an unsustainable status quo. In doing so, it will provide the black community with prosperity and independence that freedom fighters and liberators in the Arusha Declaration were anticipating for.

The Summit organizers believe that through the efficient utilization of technology and the competency of black culture, they can effectively eliminate or reduce some of the challenges that black communities face in a timely manner.
