Blockchain is a word that is growing in usage – in both the IT and information management
worlds. It is one of the most exciting and potentially game-changing technologies. But what is
it and what does it mean? And as information professionals what do we need to know? What will
be its impact on the management of information and knowledge?
This NetIKX session will introduce the concept of Blockchain and how it is shaping the
future of operations and data assets. It will give some background to a number of benefits,
issues and possible applications of Blockchain. This will be done from a technology and
information management perspective. The session will also show a number of specific Blockchain
projects that are being developed by The National Archives.
The speakers are:

the information sector as a practitioner, researcher and consultant. Her recent projects have

helping clients successfully manage their information and minimise the risk to their
information assets.
