“Secure Global Supply Chains”
Los Angeles Chapter meeting on February 21
NOTE: Building security policy. All attendees must register no less than 24 hours in advance of the meeting or they will not be allowed entrance to the building.
Some of the largest corporations in the world have embraced blockchain technology as a means of improving increased traceability and transparency into their supply chains. From tracking beef, tracing car and aircraft parts to verifying luxury bags and diamonds, blockchain technology is providing companies and consumers unprecedented insight into where goods have come from and every step they took along the supply chain. This carries the further benefit of allowing corporations to identify and root out unethical practices or labor conditions; notably, Coca-Cola conducted a blockchain pilot project with the US State Department aimed at eliminating forced labor in its supply chains.
Please join us in Century City, CA, on Tuesday, February 21, 7:30am–9:00am (breakfast and networking at 7:00am), when Chief Operating Officer of the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) Mercina Tillemann will discuss how blockchain is revolutionizing global supply chains, giving consumers greater insight into what they are buying and helping companies control quality and act more ethically and responsibly.
The GBBC is the leading industry association for the blockchain technology ecosystem. Launched in Davos in 2017, the GBBC brings together innovators and thought-leaders from over 50 countries to further adoption of blockchain technology by engaging and educating regulators, business leaders, and lawmakers on the benefits and applications of this groundbreaking technology. We believe in blockchain technology’s ability to create more secure, equitable, and functional societies around the globe.
The meeting is free for members and $40 for non-members ($30 Early Bird until February 13). Guests may attend twice for free. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to https://adflafeb20.eventbrite.com.
