The first Amsterdam Tech City meeting was organized on July 6th, 2016. The ambition of AmsterdamTech City is to inform city officials about developments in technology and to connect them with relevant parties. In my presentation 'How the Blockchain Became Mainstream' I gave an overview of the most important news about Blockchain in the media in the past two years. (At the end of the presentation you'll find a video covering my presentation.)
