Organizing for this group will begin at our kickoff meeting, a two day workshop on Transactive Energy. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ieee-blockchain-transactive-energy-summit-tickets-86235575929
The IEEE Blockchain Initiative, the IEEE Denver Blockchain Local Group, Colorado University, and several others will hold a summit focusing on blockchain and transactive energy technologies. This min-conference is free to attend and open to the public, though we ask you to attend if you register so we have an accurate count and don’t have to turn away anyone who wants to be there.
This 2-day event will feature It will feature keynotes, tutorials, peer-reviewed technical paper presentations, posters, demos, and exhibitions from world-leading service providers, solution vendors, research institutes, open-source projects, and academia. The Summit is a forum for the technical exchange of the latest research and innovation, regulation, policies, standards, and applications in the exciting and emerging area of blockchain for transactive energy.
