Concurrent sessions will cover applying blockchain technology to the information disciplines, such as healthcare, records management, and librarianship. Specific applications like using blockchain to extend community-based library collections and establish provenance and authenticity in the visual arts will also be discussed. The final 30 minutes will help attendees pull it all together and envision the growing possibilities of blockchain technology applications and the impact on the information profession.
