Cryptoās Home in the Southeast
In August, Medium contributor Stacey Schneider noted Atlantaās tech-oriented atmosphere of recent years. Schneider also remains optimistic that Atlanta has the potential to become aĀ hub for blockchain tech:
One thing I am learning is that Atlanta is a hotspot for this new technology frontier. It makes sense when you remember Atlanta has been a payments hub for years with giants like First Data, Equifax, NCR, Worldpay, FIS and Global Payments.
The Atlanta Blockchain Week itself will commence with the dApp Atlanta Summit. The gathering is a networking event that brings executives, leaders, and other influential figures together constituting the Southeastern United Stateās most notable blockchain event networks:
DappAtlanta is a Summit and exhibition connecting over hundreds of industry leaders, business decision makers, tech innovators and investors. Based on unrivaled content and exceptional networking opportunities, dAppAtlanta is part of the largest dedicated Blockchain Event Series in the SouthEast.
