LU to host first tech conference for campus, community
2月 10, 2023 | by Shelbe Rodriguez
Crypto currency, blockchain and NFT –– three buzz words that dominate the tech industry. While most may wonder, ‘What exactly is an NFT? 加密货币是真实的吗?’ and ‘How can I build my crypto portfolio?’ brothers Tien and Thanh Nguyen ’22 are here to help.
今年春天, the duo came together to plan what will be 十大电子游艺网站排行’s first-ever tech conference, Block Party 2023: Decentralize the World, 定于周六举行, 2月. 18从10 a.m. - 6p.m. in the LU Setzer Student Center Live Oak Ballroom. The conference is a hybrid event for those interested in the future of the internet and disruptive Web3 technologies hosted by LU student organization Blockchain Student Society.
Thanh, a recent engineering graduate working for Dow Chemical Company, said the idea came about after the Blockchain Student Society, an LU student organization dedicated to the technology world, recognized a need to amplify the regions tech side.
“We wanted to keep up the momentum of our student organization and we understand that 十大电子游艺网站排行 is one of the strongest engineering and 业务 universities, but our technology side could use a bit of a boost,田先生说. “We wanted to bring technology down here to Southeast Texas particularly to those who would normally have to travel to Houston or Dallas to gain insight on the industry.”
You don’t have to be a techie to attend. Thanh said if you’re “crypto-curious,” you can still tag along.
“This event is for those are looking to learn more about this industry and gain insight,” he said. “We’re especially excited about this conference because many of the guest speakers will be shedding light on how blockchain technology also intertwines with the oil and gas industry in this area,Thanh说.
Industry leaders will be speaking both online and in person with topics ranging from engineering, 业务, 计算机科学及更多. A few noted breakout sessions include:
