Blockchain Beginners came into existence to bridge a gap in the blockchain space: While those who have been around the block a few times are talking about zk-SNARKS and replay protection, those with no prior knowledge can often be left high and dry. We provide easily accessible introductions to blockchain concepts and technologies to a range of audiences at fun, engaging events.
We believe that taking blockchain to the masses is an essential step for the future of the technology – we need to engage people from all fields (not just developers) to maximise the potential of blockchain, and we need to educate the general public to drive mass uptake and adoption of the technology.
Founders Angus Maidment and Alastair Band have made a name for Blockchain Beginners on the London tech scene with the highly successful “London Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Beginners” meetup group – 1500 members and counting, with regular attendance into the hundreds. This success has led to us running the EOS community meetup in London and delivering talks around the country, from tech startups to challenger banks to universities.
We are big advocates of promoting women in blockhain, and our upcoming event "Women on the Block" features a panel of some very influential women in blockchain - you can check it out here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-on-the-block-an-evening-with-influential-women-in-blockchain-tickets-38920225442
