Chicago Blockchain Project has partnered with Omnium Global to bring the city a blockchain innovation center in Q1 of 2019.
A blockchain innovation center cultivating a collaborative and innovative environment in the blockchain space where learning, building, and mentoring can take place simultaneously.
A community collaboration fostering individual and team-based coaching in a professional learning community centered around blockchain, distributed infrastructure, community engagement, and tangible implementation of the technology.
Chicago is consistently rated as a top city for blockchain in the world. Voice of Blockchain is the marquee event of the year. In 2018, we hosted over 1,200 guests from around the world at Chicago’s Navy Pier.
