Our pre-sale has finished, but by no means is AMO slowing down on meeting with partners, customers, and other blockchain enthusiasts. This week, AMO is in San Francisco, California for Crypto DevCon, an event for tech enthusiasts and developers passionate about cryptography and blockchain. The event is hosted by Stanford DTI and Cryptic Labs, and more than 1,000 professionals from Google, Facebook, Apple, LinkedIn, and AMO (!) are slated to attend.
There is a multitude of events where finance enthusiasts and investors gather to discuss the direction of blockchain. However, while the current cryptocurrency/blockchain scene can be seen as mere business opportunities, there are major implications on society, academia, and the global exchange of ideas and resources. Professionals and academics alike will be present at Crypto DevCon to open up a space where anyone can propose ideas on distributed systems, cryptography, and how these will affect the future.
One of the headline speakers for this event will be Professor Whitfield Diffie, the “founding father” of public key cryptography. Diffie’s work in 1976 introduced a radical new method of key distribution that solved a fundamental problem in cryptography at the time — key distribution. His iconoclast philosophy and pioneer work in the field of cryptography is no secret, and on June 12 he will be speaking about a new Internet project he is advising.
Alongside other expert speakers, AMO’s Chief Evangelist, Jaeson Yoo, will also be speaking on “Blockchain for Time-Series Data,” emphasizing the need for a secure platform for the safe exchange of data. Of course, he will be expanding upon the practical application of this time-series data management for car data with AMO. Chance Du, one of our esteemed advisors and founding partner of our partner Coefficient Ventures will also be speaking at the event on blockchain technology. It should be a packed and enlightening conference.
If you are in the area, or have questions for AMO face-to-face, feel free to visit our booth and ask our engineers and blockchain consultants questions or simply say hello!
