On behalf of the Blockchain Impact Institute, it gives me great pleasure to welcome all of our distinguished guests, colleagues, and friends to the beautiful host city of Vancouver, British Columbia for this historic meeting of the brightest minds in Blockchain Technology.

At the Blockchain Impact Institute, we are committed to incubating, developing and supporting proprietary blockchain technology applications, products and and solutions with a positive social impact worldwide. Blockchain is one of the most significant technology developments of the 21st century and we believe that this meeting will positively expand on recent developments, potential impacts and opportunities to the benefit of all.

This important event, could not have happened without the cooperation of an impressive group of speakers who have gathered here today to seize the opportunity of this summit to advance blockchain technologies and their applications to a greater worldwide audience.

I would like to thank all of the speakers, sponsors and guests who have traveled f rom far distances to be with us here today. I hope that you each leave Vancouver with beneficial information, relationships and memories of the days events and that we may all soon meet again to further the cause and development of blockchain technologies.
