Join a panel of experts involved in created Blockchain standards. In this panel we will present the outline of the various standards being represented and discuss applications that will use these standards.

Some questions discussed by the panel are:

What are we trying to standardize?
Will standards inhibit innovation in blockchain?
Will standards allow for data exchange between different blockchains?
How to reach a consensus on blockchain standards?

Our panel represents IEEE standards, and other industry standards groups working to move the technology forward.
