BTS provides a forum for the blockchain community to present their work to a diverse audience with broad background and interests in blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, including government, financial institutions and payment systems, industries, and health and energy sectors, academia, research organizations, and small businesses. Talks from all relevant disciplines are welcome. The presentations however are expected to be at a level that is accessible to a large portion of attendees.
BTS does not have published proceedings. We invite talks on the latest research and development in relevant areas, including exploratory talks that shed light on less understood aspects of blockchain, or provide insight on challenges of blockchain technologies. Talks may be based on recently published work at conferences or journals, or projects that are in-progress, as well as industry talks that discuss new applications and raise questions.
We encourage connection to the Canadian context when possible.
