MIT Enterprise Forum of NYC Presents: Blockchain Smart Contracts: Turning Traditional Transactional Business Models Inside-Out Smart Contracts are a new wave of innovation enabled by Blockchain technology. Quite simply, these Smart Contracts are self-executing and self-enforcing code, triggered by data that automatically executes agreement terms and stores the agreements on an immutable Blockchain. These computer instructions that execute the terms of an agreement can simplify transactions. Although these contracts are just software, it is too early to determine the legal implications of these types of transactions. They have the ability to revolutionize financial transactions. Blockchain is driving innovation, especially in the financial markets by offering efficiency and transparency on a decentralized immutable ledger. Schedule: Wednesday, November 16, 2016 Registration 5:00 - 5:15 Location: CHADBOURNE & PARKE LLP Panelists: Andrew Lippman Andrew Lippman has a more than 35-year history at MIT. His work at the Media Lab has ranged from wearable computers to global digital television. Currently, he heads the Lab's Viral Communications research group, which examines scalable, real-time networks whose capacity increases with the number of members. This new approach to telephony, sensor interconnection, and broadcasting transfers 'mainframe communications' technology to distributed, personally defined, cooperative communicators. In addition, he co-directs MIT's interdisciplinary
Communications Futures program. Lippman has directed research programs on digital pictures, personal computers, entertainment, and graphics, and he has served on advisory boards of technology start-ups. Currently, he is on the science councils of both non-profit and for-profit companies addressing global information infrastructures. He has written both technical and lay articles about our digital future and given over 250 presentations throughout the world on the future of information and its commercial and social impact.
