2021-12-02 16:00 - 17:00 | Webinar, PA, United States
Blockchain technology, like that used in Bitcoin, is a method for “decentralized recordkeeping.” That is a novel and unusual idea.

Bryan Routledge, Associate Professor of Finance at CMU’s Tepper School of Business and faculty member of the Tepper Blockchain Institute, will lead a conversation about how this works and what might/can go wrong.
Attendees can earn one hour of “Other” CPE credit for this program, which will be presented live and will also be available to view on-demand. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
