On Friday 17 June 2016, TDL held a one-day conference in partnership with The Hague Security Delta (HSD) and the Institute for Financial Crime (IFFC) and co-sponsored by Intel, NEC and miiCard. The goal of the event was to examine the opportunities and challenges associated with blockchain. By taking multiple views on blockchain, the event provided a forum to discuss technology, use cases, economics and policies bringing together researchers, practitioners and regulators engaged in blockchain and crypto-currency activities. Hence, the objective of the initiative was to initiate a blockchain-focused community through TDL that would be multi-disciplinary.
