WSBA Launches Inaugural Blockchain for Wall Street Conference in Partnership With Lighthouse Partners’ The Blockchain Conference

Q4 Event Looks Forward to 2017’s Prospects for Distributed Ledgers in the Financial Markets

New York, New York (September 14, 2016) – The Wall Street Blockchain Alliance (WSBA), a non-profit 501 (c) (6) Trade Association, in partnership with Lighthouse

Peter Harris, Principal at Lighthouse Partners, said: “Lighthouse is delighted to be partnering with the WSBA to bring this much needed event to the Wall Street community. Last February we launched Lighthouse Partners’ The Blockchain Conference in San Francisco, which covered several vertical industries including securities, banking, insurance, energy, payments, healthcare and supply chain. Having worked with IBM on the debut conference, we have been looking for the right partner to bring this brand to its first financial markets center. As an industry trade association, the WSBA’s goals to advocate for the deployment of distributed ledgers through education and market engagement align with ours, making this partnership a natural fit.

Further events are planned for 2017.
