Blockchain in Oil & Gas Conference Wrap Up: Blockchain For Energy Learns, Leads, and Leverages the Digital Energy Future

 

Blockchain For Energy continues to spearhead innovative conversations in emerging technology, shaping the energy industry’s future. Exceeding expectations, The Blockchain in Oil & Gas Conference, produced in partnership with Blockchain For Energy (B4E), was a huge success bringing together the brightest thought leaders and industry giants.

 

“You just don’t get the same results with an all-virtual conference-- as face-to-face networking fosters deeper relationships and helps moves things forward at a faster rate,” said Rebecca Hofmann, President/CEO of Blockchain For Energy.

 

Attendees connected and interacted with the world’s most trusted community of oil and gas blockchain trailblazers--discovering and learning about the latest research, strategies, and case studies.

 

B4E not only helped produce the event, Hofmann and other board members including Chevron’s Raquel Clement, ExxonMobil’s Raj Rapaka, Pioneer Natural Resources’s Rashi Gajula, and JD Franke of ConocoPhillips, held panel discussions, gave thought-provoking presentations, and participated in lively fireside chats.
