 Okay came through loud and clear great you're set Okay, great. Well, welcome everybody to the August 24th blockchain employee final event This is the fourth in a four-part series That we are hosting this summer or that we've hosted this summer And I hope that everybody has learned a lot and we're gonna just go over a few Items first and then we're gonna get to the breakout rooms with the companies that actually have the jobs So this is a Linux foundation call for hyper ledger So we have to abide by the antitrust policy, which is displayed on your screen. So just take a look at that for a second And there's a link which will be made available if you need to read further into that So Yeah, yeah, and this is being recorded and on YouTube at the same time. So I only have one announcement and that is Friday August 27th the hyper ledger giving chain, which is a social impact project that is very interesting is having a Public meeting to catch everybody up as to where the project is. I will not be at that meeting I am off that day. So my mentee and his team will be doing the whole show So I encourage everybody to support them. That would be wonderful So what are we here for today? So this is the last one We're gonna go over a little bit about what BC employee BC employee is We're gonna talk a little bit about what we discussed in the last three slides and the educational opportunities And then the companies that are gonna be on manning tables Will discuss for a few minutes about what they're looking for and what their discussions will be geared around so Getting moving on this again is a I'm from Ledger Academy. That's a training company I know Jim Mason and John Carpenter who were very much a huge part of the whole thing For BC employee. They're from the hyper ledger meet-ups And then Nareesh Jane was from the education piece the Indian blockchain Institute Which is a hyper ledger training partner So the four of us did this together And we're again, it is a hyper ledger call and we're encouraging everyone to keep this information flowing by putting your email and your LinkedIn profile in the chat so that we can pass it on to the companies and Also help you with great ideas or jobs that are coming that would fit what your requirements are So hopefully everybody will do that as I'm continuing to talk Um, so the first meeting and I don't know John if you want to recap what you guys discussed or what we went over at the first one Yeah, we had an exceptional panel discussion at the first employment event for Denver And we had Eduardo from Accenture. We had Daniela from hyper ledger and we had Sophia. Well, we actually had Melissa Melissa who filled in for Sophia and I was just reading off the slide We had a great event and really, you know, got a chance to learn more about these companies And what is actually the skill set that's needed in the blockchain space for You know companies that are actively recruiting so it was a great event and Really looking forward to keeping this trajectory alive and continuing this on after this event as well So Bobby back to you Thank you, John and now Jim will take the mic and recap his event Sure. So the second Session we did really covered the blockchain job market in a sense and how you can fill your pipeline As a candidate and also try to give you a little bit of a flavor of what companies were looking for from their perspective in Canada So we're lucky enough to have Gary Sting a product manager at Google cloud and Come in and he's also been a big part of hyper ledger fabric for a very long time I think he's on a TSC at this point as well Ben Townsend who leads a recruiting for Hogue Jackson in the blockchain space came and gave this his Perspectives Brian Nelson technical recruiter from front team partners out on the West Coast also focused on the blockchain area as well And finally the the guest panelist so much that her prize was Mascara who actually filled in and really gave us another perspective that we needed as well on the panel So it was a very good panel. We had a nice engagement from the audience. Well, so that went well and hopefully set up Make citations around maybe a little bit for the job there and what you can do with your pipeline Thank you Jim and then I'll recap the last one which was again geared for Jobseekers how to market themselves The benefits of a LinkedIn profile what should be on your LinkedIn profile how to brand yourself what your resume should look like what it shouldn't look like and just those those soft skills about being on time being polite all to get ready to Present your brand that's yourself to these employers who have great jobs for you. So we discussed that a little bit and then we went into the Indian Blockchain institutes training programs for the five certifications that they offer the classes just started another session will be starting in a few weeks so the link is on the BC employee website if you're interested in sharpening your skills and getting a certificate in blockchain. So that's basically where we were now so Again, and that's the Indian Institute of Blockchain for just those soft skills and I mentioned the classes that offer certifications. These would be The classes that you could get certified in and once you get certified you get a Certification on a blockchain through the snap cert company. So you're a tested credentials will be available For you to display any way or anywhere that you want and they are still offering a discount for BC employee member or Participants. So you mentioned that when you sign up. There's a spot for that. So now getting back to where we are. Right now we're going to be moving forward with this on our website. This is our homepage. It'll have updated information or recording of the events. It'll post when our next event is We also have a page for opportunity seekers. It offers the education as well as resume and LinkedIn advice. So again, if you haven't put your LinkedIn or your email into the Chat, that's how we're going to like send you to room. So please get that in there now so that we have that And then for the pipeline fillers the people who have these jobs that they're really looking to Fill we're offering services for them as well. Being a part of this. We're running this series quarterly. So there'll be a fall winter and spring and we're encouraging Lots of activity around those events. So now I'm going to introduce the People who are part of our blockchain event and give them a time to talk about their companies. So we have Accenture DTCC hyper ledger collido and consensus. And each one will have a chance. We're going to start with Accenture and whoever likes to take over to discuss a few minutes about what your breakout room and what jobs you're trying to fill Yeah, and I'll just weigh in here a little bit. So I invited Melanie and the team to come out and present And Melanie has really done a lot of great work in the blockchain space and she's going to talk to us all about the great thing that Accenture has going on and what the team is going to be looking for. So Melanie over to you. Thanks, John. And then it's great to be here. I can I've got just a couple of stats to share if I can do a screen share here. Here we go. We get that moving just just for a fun story. We are the world's most valuable brand that nobody knows who we are. There's always a fun perspective to give you a little bit of context. And how we come together making sure I can see everything at the same time. So, um, Let me do it, not in full screen because I lost at that perspective. And I'm always happy to be here at Hyperledger events. I actually have the honor of being on the board of Hyperledger and a number of other organizations. Our Accenture team is Always tech independent and has a footprint in the on the board of the EEA as well as many other organizations in the blockchain space. So excited to be here. We are You know, a half a million people strong across the world, which is always amazing in 200 cities, 6,000 clients and the stat that I think is always the funnest is We support 91 of the Fortune 100 right so if there's a major brand, you know, Accenture is in the mix. So again that Ironically, world's most valuable brand. A lot of you don't even know who we are behind the scenes powering the strategy, the technology and the capabilities for the brands that you know and love every day. And we are embedded in the ecosystem, which is the fun way on how we are able to convene together people in the blockchain space, bringing industries and markets together in North America alone. We're split up into five more market units, 55,000 employees. Our number of employee resource groups programs that we have Inclusion and diversity goals. We followed Julie sweet on Twitter, you'll see that she's a known a bit. Our CEO is known a bit as the CEO whisper. So our ability to have that influence and impact. But why you guys are here just spinning through, like I said, a few facts and stats. Why you guys are here is we are growing our blockchain and multi party systems team With leaps and bounds. We continue to drive and shape the market. We are looking for strategists consultants architects on and entrepreneurs and engineers. So you name it, we're looking for them. So we're looking for the people to have the wild idea to do a brainstorming session with a client someone to follow through and write up a formal C suite level strategy. Consultants that are helping to take a value pool and assessment and really see how do we drive that kind of change and transformation. We're looking for those architects who can take blockchain based solutions and see how do we really drive meaningful value and impact and not just put blockchain in for fun. So we've all seen it. We've all heard of it. Why did you need a distributed system. You probably didn't. So growing our group of architects and engineers that can do so. And then entrepreneurial spirit is really the core to kind of how our team works. We are part of tech innovation and tech incubation actually incubating that new markets in the firm, which is a bit of a tip of the sphere. So we have R&D and labs. Looking at what technologies next tech innovation, which is driving that applied what we can do now with our clients in our scaled business who helps with technology cloud operations infrastructure. Outsourcing and such so lots of different capabilities. This group is specifically focused on making markets. We have lots of opportunities and roles around the world. The past year, our goals have been around the future of money. The future of identity and the future of supply chains, all of which have been just amplified with what we've seen with COVID. So We brought a mix of a group of talent for you guys to talk to in the tables. So we'll have both some technical people and some business people in each of the groups. So looking forward to having more discussions. Awesome. Thanks, Melanie. That's a wonderful overview. And I know everyone's looking forward to connecting with Accenture and going through the opportunities that are available, which sounds like a huge amount. Perfect. There's looks like a slide that shows you who's going to be at the breakout rooms and maybe Melanie, you want to talk just a little bit of maybe the breakout of kind of more of the business side people versus more of the technical side team members. Yeah, so we'll have both representations in both rooms. So Tom Fahey leads our supply chain. Jess Johnson leads our identity capability. Cody has been immersed in our technology space. Catherine White's been working with the World Economic Forum. So incredible just leaning in on the future of money. Josh Cardeloni across supply chains. Khadija across oil and gas. And Tracy, who actually used to be a big part of the Hyperledger organization is one of our lead lead technologist and architects. Yeah, perfect. And then I also see we have Cynthia and Trisha up there. Yes, and they are helping to organize our room. So we keep all your names and can do all our follow-ups and such. So thank you. Perfect. Yes, great. So much. Now next we have the Kaleido room. Great. Thank you. Well, I'm here with Madison. So just a quick intro. I'm one of the founders of Kaleido and Madison is our recruiter. I did want to share some slides. So it's not letting me share. I'm getting a cannot share screen. Well, okay, I should be able to share now. So great. And we go back to the very first slide. So who is Kaleido? We're a very fast growing tech startup, obviously very exciting space, blockchain digital transformation platforms. We're all about making these multi-party systems. As you heard Accenture talk about these business networks and ecosystems radically simple to build to get into production and all for enterprise. So I'm part of a four-member co-founding team that has been in the blockchain space in the very beginning. I personally started working in blockchain in 2015. And we had a lot of really early insights working with the leaders in the space. Launched coming back home to the Hyperledger community because worked very closely to help set up Hyperledger to make initial code donation there. And we work across all the major enterprise protocols very similar to Accenture. So offering flexibility and choice to our customers really focused on customer results. So real benefits using blockchain to evolve business processes and also to revolutionize how people work. We're natively cross-cloud and hybrid. We're built a platform that could go try us for free. So for all of those with technical bent to build a multi-party system right out of the box. We've had very strong commitment to open source since day one and recently open sourced six years of learnings and insights. That's the firefly that was talking about firefly community with a couple of our clients and partners who had been working on this code base. And really excited to see a lot of traction on that. So if you go in this is what our product looks like I think with the SAS and you're looking to work for SAS you want to see exactly what it is. So you want it to be enterprise grade really built for developers. And I welcome you to learn more about what our customers are doing around financial inclusion supply chain. Check the check helping solve problems like a single version of the truth when it comes to like who's died in the US. That's a mortality monitor project. There's no death master record in the US right now. If you have an auto accident health care revolutionizing health care digital assets. We've done a lot in a tea space working with the World Bank and CVDC projects across the world. Disease surveillance sustainability donor impacts point of sale retail climate warehouse ed tech. So lots lots of exciting projects securities and settlement. You could find some use cases and stuff on our website. And just for some recent news. Some of our client networks have been picked as innovators by IDC and other analysts for what they've built on us. We recently were awarded a grant for blockchain operability. So the Clio team and engineers get to work on that which is going to be really fun. And we partner with people like MIT who run week long courses on us. So in terms of the jobs we'll be talking about in our breakout room. Engineering we're very engineering led team and culture. So lots of openings from senior down to more sort of introductory front end and full stack roles as well. But I'd say the senior full stack and senior engineer are really hot jobs for us. And then we've got some roles in marketing and design as well. So look look forward to talking to you in the room. I don't know if you want to add anything Madison. I think I'll add some more in the room when we break out. But you definitely gave the best summary. Perfect. Yeah. So we're doing a lot moving fast and looking forward to speaking with you guys. Hey perfect. Thanks Sophia and thanks Madison. Look forward to having everybody connect with Clydo in the room. And so Bobby who do we have up next. Okay. Next we have DTCC. Perfect. Do you need the screen guys. No good afternoon. So I was actually very specifically told not to have slides. So I'm just going to paint the picture with my words here. But my name is Ali Khan. I'm the executive director for technology research and innovation organization in DTCC. So in the five minutes we have what I'll try to just touch upon is who are we who was DTCC and why is it so awesome to work with DTCC in the DLT space arena. Right. So DTCC essentially it's a very unique company. We are the world's largest depository for financial securities. We've been existence for over 45 years and essentially we're the premier post trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry. So I mean what do we do simply put we automate, centralize and standardize the processing of financial transactions across the trade life cycle. And this in turn mitigates risk for thousands of institutions worldwide. So overall it's a it's a SIFMO entity considered a very critical part of the US financial services backbone. And you know just referencing what the Accenture person said it's it's again one of those brands which is extremely critical but not many people outside of financial service industry would have heard about it right so just to share some facts and metrics with you. We are a quarter in Jersey City and we have presence across multiple locations within the US and across the globe so around 4,500 employees working in 15 countries. We hold active issues worth $63 trillion and and this is the number I really love to quote is we process about over $2.15 quadrillion a year so quadrillion being $1,000 trillion. Trillion being $1,000 billion and there's literally the only place where I see quadrillion being used as an actual number and not not not as an expression so hopefully that that that impresses you guys a little bit. More than 50 exchanges and trading platforms in the US utilize our clearing services and we have over 6300 clients that we service across 70 countries so literally the who's who of the financial industries form our client base. Now why is it such a great opportunity to work with DTC in the DLT space first and foremost just owing to a unique position in the industry. The projects we undertake and the areas of financial services we focus on they tend to possess the potential to have a very broad impact across the industry right there's not a niche space. This is a central industry utility. So we are in a very unique position to evolve some of the most critical facets of the financial service industry in a very holistic and comprehensive manner right so it's a high visibility high impact arena and some some examples on these projects and you can look those up would be project with me and project time on which we published some white paper and number two, as I mentioned we have a huge client base consisting of some of the most prominent players in the financial service industry across the globe so any work that we do in the research and innovation we tend to get tremendous visibility tremendous partnership and very broad engagement from the industry right so the world. So the work we do it's it's usually is known a very good example if you might have heard about the recent Robin Hood and the fiasco and our name was actually called out in the Hallow halls of the Congress. We have a very good partnership with the financial service industry. Right so the work we do it's it's usually is known a very good example if you might have heard about the recent Robin Hood and the fiasco and our name was actually called out in the Hallow halls of the Congress. We have a dedicated research and innovation group very well staffed well budgeted it's got its own business and technology banks dedicated develop an ecosystem that covers all facets of research and innovation including market assessment landscape analysis POC prototypes client engagements industry work shows white papers etc right and. Lastly we deal with the white gamut of business cases this includes in examples of private equity space clearance and settlement digital identity insurance. And we deal with with a broad flavor of DLT platforms public as well as private so absolutely no dirt the fun and cool technologies to work on. And hopefully as you come to a booth we can man by some of my colleagues from DTCC we can share more about what nice opportunities we have and and give you more details around why it's so much fun to work for DTCC. Thank you. Thank you so much that was great. Again, a company that is under recognized but fueling the industry so hats off. And Ali you want to also mention who's going to be at the breakout tables that's up on the screen there so he's going to be there so maybe talk a little bit about that. Yeah, Jyoti and Naveen Kumar at their own breakout table number one and Nitya and Hitesh will be on table number two. And these are primarily my colleagues from the technology arena and I don't want to get into the details of the job but I think we are looking at a broad set of skills, a lot of it in the hands on development arena people coming in with with hats on DLT skills. Hopefully in the financial services, financial services space, but more details as people start coming to the tables. Any specific things I should be touching on John. No, I just want to have every company have an opportunity really to describe kind of the people that are going to be hosting the virtual tables, and then also kind of get a flavor for the types of roles that are really at the top of your list what you're looking to recruit for. Okay, so I'm just going to touch upon so the kind of open roles we have I just spoke about it genetically. Alright, so sorry guys my screen is stuck so essentially we're looking for technology roles at this point across different ranges of seniority, as well as skillsets so this is, you know senior principal application architect application security DLT leads so it's in the dev space as well as as application security space. In addition to that we are looking for full stack Java developers who in addition to full stack development skills also have, you know, are informed or have knowledge of DLT. And on top of that, you know, there are really skilled people who don't have hands on DLT experience, but have knowledge or interest. We do have for for for unique for really talented individuals we do provide opportunities to train them on the job or through formal trainings. So, essentially if you're, you know, if you think you are, this is an area that excites you and this is a sort of a specific company or an industry space that you're interested in. We should be able to figure something out as long as you have the you have the appropriate skills and experience. And as I said that my colleagues Nitya Hitesh, Naveen and Jyoti, Naveen Nitya and Hitesh are from the application development space and I believe Jyoti, pardon me if I'm wrong but Jyoti is from the security space. Yeah, that's perfect. Holly, thanks for doing that and we look forward to collaboration. One thing I will say to the team. It looks like the co host needs to be back assigned to me as I create these meetup rooms. So, Daniel, I know you're on the call. I don't know if you can do that. Yep. If you're assigned me to host, that'd be great. Let me give it a try. Okay, no problem. Sorry to interrupt the flow here but I need to be making sure we get these things right. It's a perfect lead in because guess who's next. Our favorite person from Hyperledger, Daniela. Hold on a second. All right, I'm just checking to make sure that Dave is the host there. We'll give you access in one second. Yeah, no problem. I know David had to go and take care of something else so I appreciate it. I'm back now. Do we need to set somebody as host? Yeah, I need to be set as host so I can create the meetup rooms. Oh, sure, sure. Of course. Thanks, David. You're awesome. All right. All right. Can everybody hear me? Can you see me? Yep. Everything looks perfect. All right. Well, thank you everybody for joining us today. It's great to see we're close to 100 participants today. And for anybody who tells me that, you know, there's no jobs or there's no opportunities in blockchain, I think we're here to dismiss that thought. And thank you so much to John Carpenter and Bobby and Jim Mason, who this is the fourth edition of this sessions. And I've gotten great feedback from our community members and also the member companies that are looking for the talent. So thank you so much for everybody working together to connect people who are looking for jobs with people who need to hire for these jobs because they're certainly a market. It's fantastic to see a censure and Kaleido and DTCC here today. And as you'll see, there's other opportunities within our global community as well. So for those of you don't know me, my name is Daniela Barbosa. I'm the vice president of worldwide alliances here at Hyperledger myself along with our staff work very closely with our member companies, as well as our open source community to make sure that Hyperledger is focused on our mission and goals, which is to create enterprise open source software that all of you can use to build your businesses to go work for companies that use the software and really to build that collaboration space within the ecosystem. We have been working with our member companies to identify three things that I think are really important for a strong commercial ecosystem where there's a lot of jobs and a lot of opportunities for people. So this is training and education, working with the Linux Foundation and as well as our hyperledger training partners. We have great resources and I'm going to go ahead and share my screen and just navigate to for those of you who are new. Let me see share my screen and we're going to go with desktop one. We are new from our website for our main website to learn about training opportunities. If you go under training and certification. There's really great resources like Bobby has pointed out to get trained. Some are offered through the Linux foundations other free courses that are available as MOOCs, which are open source online free courses. So as you can see here there's someone identity which is a very hot topic right now. And there's certainly going to be a lot of hiring done around identity blockchain solutions in the near future and currently now even for some members that are already on here. Oops, and I don't know how to use my mouse. So try that again. Also, as I mentioned our training partners will talk a little bit about that, and also the intermediate and advanced training and certification so the Linux Foundation partnering with hyperledger does provide certified courses as well so that you can become a fabric administrator and a fabric developer and I can tell you because very often I hear from member companies or end user companies who are looking to hire administrators and developers that they certainly look for some of those certifications that are available in the marketplace. As I mentioned before we do also have a fantastic group of training partners. And this includes some of the training partners that see the page will load up again for us. Let's see here. Maybe not. There you go. So some of the training partners that you'll hear about today, consensus IBM IDS, the Karela Blockchain Academy pierce safe and a snapper future tech with the Indian Blockchain Institute that Bobby presented some of the courses that they use as well, as long as some regional ones like Bonnie chain out of Asia. So a lot of great resources for those of you at different levels, whether you're just getting acquainted or introduced into blockchain to more advanced and intermediate and certifications. So please do check that out. First, it's very important to once again have that ecosystem of commercial opportunities and companies that provide jobs and products and services built with hyper ledger. So we spent a lot of time making sure that we can train. We also have been working quite a bit with universities just this morning there was a presentation to our media and entertainment special interest group around some of the work that we're doing here at Oregon State, which is an HBCU University. We reach out to different organizations, for example, like Anita board with the Grace Hopper Foundation to really get diverse diversity into our community and engineers and that can really meet that goal. So please do check out our training and certification. When it comes to jobs, you know, the couple of things. One is our role and one of the things our member companies for the last four years I've been here at hyper ledger has said to us that it is very hard to find trained resources or people that have blockchain experience. So we try to build a lot of training opportunities for people to build those train of blockchain experience. We do have a member so we are hyper ledger is a member organization member companies like Accenture and Kaleido and Oracle join hyper ledger to support our open source communities, and we do want to help them fill these spots so if you go to our website and click on the top board and anytime you're going to find some opportunities, a Kaleido and Accenture is here so they'll talk to you at their tables about some of the opportunities that they have open. We also have some listings on Oracle I know they have another one that just expired that are open as well so please do check out their website. One that is really cool I invited them to come but they're based out of Paris right now, and they're moving operations to Los Angeles is a blockchain and take a look at them. They're into race car driving, they're building a hydrogen powered car that is the most beautiful car. I want to be the first one that has one of these cars in my neighborhood because it's I live in a Tesla neighborhood and I want better than a Tesla. But Una blockchain is a new hyper ledger member they're looking for leads software engineer and they have some other positions available on their website as well. And they're building an automotive blockchain company to basically be core of the hydrogen car that they're building and take a look at it. And it's built once again to hyper it's the most beautiful car ever. So if you're interested into that great opportunity. Take a look at it if you need an introduction I'm happy to also make any introductions to any of our member companies as well. In regards to hyper ledger and the Linux foundation, the Linux foundation, if you are not aware, we are an open source project hyper ledger is one of hundreds of different open source projects that fall under the links foundation. And I encourage you to explore other open source projects within the Linux foundation. We are always hiring. And if you go to the Linux foundation and go to careers now these are not all blockchain related but they are open source related, which is also a great job opportunity for for many of us here on the phone today. And you can see here, the various, most of these job positions are remote, they'll show San Francisco because the system needs to put something in, but we are fully remote global organization. And you can see the different products, the different job titles that are available at the Linux foundation. So I encourage everybody to take a look at it. And if you're interested or have any questions, please do look at these job roles and I'd be happy to answer it. So one more thing, I'm going to stop sharing my screen. If I can see here is my screen. I am like a newbie at zoom believe it or not. No, I'm just kidding. Because I haven't a full screen. Hold on. I could do this. I can do this. All right. So my screen went to stop sharing. Well, Danielle's doing this. I'm just going to put a shameless plug in for the hyper ledger learning materials working group. We're part of their, we meet bi weekly and have calls that introduced people to the hyper ledger community, the projects, the tools, the libraries, as well as the special interest groups and the working groups. So if you're becoming active in the hyper ledger community, join us every other Monday at the learning materials working group call. Yeah, no, it's fantastic. And to that point, there are so many opportunities for people to get involved in the hyper ledger community through our special interest groups we have special interest groups that focus on healthcare supply chain, and you have to be a deep technologist to be participating and really building a brand for yourself in the open source community and the hyper ledger community. So I encourage you to do that if you don't know where to start reach out to any of us we're happy to help, but if you go on the website, and then you click on participate. You'll find the special interest groups the working groups. I think there's on average something like 30 calls a week that you can participate on and different opportunities. So it's a great community. It's a great thing to put on your resume that you're participating and contributing, not just code contributions but also, you know, subject matter expertise around these specific subjects that we're working on participating in events like this. There is a place for everybody in our hyper ledger community. So one more plug for hyper ledger. Thank you who are on social media. If after the session or doing the session you tweet out that you attended the hyper ledger BC employee session, and you tag hyper ledger jobs. So hyper ledger jobs, all one word, I will be in contact and I will send you a five year anniversary t shirt. And in the front it says five year anniversary and in the back it has all the projects and all the launch dates of the projects as well. So for anybody who tweets out hyper ledger jobs, and that you attended in your feedback. I will be happy to be in touch with you and get your t shirt. So thank you once again. Thank you Danielle, and we love free stuff. And that's for the sponsoring companies to you can have a cool. That's awesome. And next we're going to hear from consensus do we have anyone from consensus I didn't see grace on but I'm not sure she's under a different name. No hi this is Matt Nelson unfortunately our recruiter had to drop off. So I will be giving a brief overview and also meeting the breakout rooms that's okay I think I'm going to handle it. So my name is Matt Nelson, I work in the strategy and operations group of consensus consensus is one of the world's leading ethereum software companies we not only make the ethereum protocols but we make products like metamask for user wallets in fear for blockchain based infrastructure. It's a whole portfolio of different software products in the ethereum ecosystem. We do have open source protocols like hyper ledger basu part of the hyper ledger foundation. And we have tons of different roles within our organization for again developers engineers data scientists for business business minded folks as well it's not just kind of a tech focused role set. So please join us in the breakout room. If you have interest in the ethereum ecosystem crypto economics and a lot of other kinds of technologies that make that work like zero knowledge proofs a lot of research and development topics. You know, we're really working to kind of push forward this ecosystem by developing a whole breadth of public goods. And that's why we're so proud to work with hyper ledger on open source technology. So if you'd like to, again, work in a variety of different roles from the sell side all the way through the development of blockchain protocols and protocol engineering. There are plenty of roles open at consensus and I'd love to chat a little bit more. And I can also, you know, dive into my experience, working in the protocols group and, you know, talk a little bit about my job search experience too. If you're interested in blockchain based careers in the ethereum ecosystem, or if you're more interested in broadly the crypto ecosystem come drop by our booth and chat and we can see what roles we have that might be a good fit for everyone skills. Thank you so much Matt. Okay, now we're going to go to the breakout tables so Accenture has two tables. DTCC has two tables. Collider hyper ledger consensus. Oh I have three tables. Sorry, DTCC only has two. So you'll be able to pick a table I'm going to turn it over to John to talk about that but please don't forget to put your email and LinkedIn information in the chat because we will be reaching out for you. And don't forget to tweet for a t shirt. So, John, you're on mute. You're on mute. Here, we see your mouth moving. No, still muted. Okay, now I should be okay. Thank you very much, Bobby. I really appreciate your wonderful help and collaboration here. So I've created the seven breakout rooms that we have available for you to join. And in order to do the self selecting join of the breakout rooms, make sure that your zoom software is up to date because only with the latest software version will you be able to join directly. However, Bobby graciously has offered to make sure that she can put you into a room if you can't self select. So what I would do is just in the chat. If you're not able to self select the room and you want to be put into a certain room, then reach out via the chat and let Bobby know which room you want to go into and she'll place you in there. She is going to be the point person for making sure that anyone who shows back up into the main room can always go and connect with whatever company they want in whatever room that they need to get to. Whereas myself I'm going to kind of float around between the different rooms and the different companies and just make sure that everything's running smooth for everyone. And if anyone has any questions this direct chat to me, and I'll be able to address any meeting room issues. And then we're going to go ahead and when we're ready to wrap up, we're going to send out a notice that'll give you a little bit of a timer. And then we're just going to come back in and reconvene in the main room, just to kind of do a wrap up of how everything went. So that's basically the way the protocol is going to go. I'm going to go ahead and recapture once more the chats that are in the main room. And if you haven't already put in your LinkedIn profile, which is the best into the chat or submitted your resume to the BC employee website. That would be great. And if you don't have either one of those, the best thing you could do is just put your email address into the chat. I'm going to go ahead and do one more capture on that. And then I'm going to go ahead and open up the breakout rooms now. Okay, here we go. Opening all the rooms. And now I'm going to broadcast the message. Please join a room of choice. Okay, everyone, have a wonderful time interacting with these great companies and those members of the companies. Please find your company branded table and go ahead and join the groups that are going to be assembling there now I can see a lot of people already dropping off to join their specific tables. Bobby, can you try to put me in. I think as a co host, I can't put myself in the room. Yes, no worries. I'll put you in. Let me see if I can. Yeah, can I get the same help as well. I do apologize. Thank you. So Brian where I'm hyper ledger would be really cool. That would be cool. There you go. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. No worries. If you're not in a room and want to be assigned please unmute and tell me because it's easier than for me looking through all the chats. Thank you so much. Hi, can you move me to the TTC C room where Nithya and hit a sugar. Certainly. Yeah, TTC C for me to please. That was john. That's correct. Ralph Banko for collido please. I can't see my I can do it myself. I just noticed it. No worries. I got it. Thanks. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, just Sophia Lopez for collido. I, I, it's in progress. There's not moving me over. Hi, Jacqueline Limford consensus please. Okay Jacqueline, what's your name. Oh, I see it. Edward Johnson for extension, please. Okay, Edward Johnson for Accenture. Hi, Galashia for please. Okay, one moment. Sorry. Okay, who is the last one to say something. Johnny land for consensus. Okay. Next. Galasha for Accenture please. Anyone else. I can randomly assign you if you'd like. Take roll. Christina, where would you like to go? Hi, Miss Bobby. I would like to go to consensus first and then I would like Bobby Muscar to put me on Russian roulette of wherever else I need to talk to everybody. I'm sending you to consensus. Thank you. Okay, how about Cody. Yeah, sorry. With extension. Okay, Cody's going to Accenture. Ishmael consensus. Consensus. This is Joe fact. Can you send me a consensus as well? Certainly. Thank you. This is Alejandro. Can you send me the consensus as well? Certainly. Gustavo. How about Ishmael? Kevin. Okay, if anybody needs to be joined to a room, I'm going to assign everyone to a room in a moment if you haven't already been assigned. I'm going to assign me to hyper ledger. This is Mike. Okay, Mike. Thank you. This is Randy Middleton assigned me to hyper ledger, please. Certainly. So Kevin Jordan Gustavo Ishmael B. And I think that's about it. Hide two. And Xyle found anyone. Preference or should I just assign? My name is Brian. I'm interested in, I got here a little bit late, but what would you recommend for business development, go to market types of roles outside of technology and development? I think all of them have that kind of role book. I was going to say collider because they're really innovative and looking for a lot of ancillary roles around blockchain as well. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Okay. And I'm just going to assign everybody else. Hi, could you put me into that consensus, please? Certainly. Certainly. Okay, Bobby, I'm going to leave it in your good hands here. I'm going to start jumping in and check and make sure everything's run smooth. Okay. I assigned people. So, Yep, everybody's in a room. You did a perfect job. A plus. Thank you. No, you did. These rooms are great. Thank you. Okay. I'm going to go jump in here real quick. And I'll stay in here. Josh, or I think it's Brian. Do you want to be assigned to a new room? No, thank you. I was just joining for the first time, but I'll jump into a breakout room. Okay. Great. If you have problems, let me know and I can assign you to whichever one you'd like. Okay. Thank you. Hello, Lanchel. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm good. Do you need to go to a new room? Yeah, I'm good. I'm finding one right now. I was just in the DTCC one. So I'm looking. Yeah. How was that going over there for them? Oh, it was great. Yeah. I had a great conversation with the people. So it's awesome. Okay. Great. Catch him back up with you. Okay. Thanks. Cheyenne, are you okay? Do you need to be assigned to a room? Yeah, I'm good. I'm just trying to change the rooms. I have to come back to this main room to go back. Am I audible? Hello. Hello. Am I audible? Yes, you are. I can assign you to your room. No, it looks like you're still in a room. Yeah, I just trying to switch rooms. So I have to come back to this main room. Okay. Thank you. No worries. Hi, do you need to be assigned to a room? I think it's low drag. Oh, I'm sorry. It was on mute. Can you hear me? Yes, I can. Yeah, I know. The humidity affected by screen. I got bounced out. So I'm just coming back in. Oh, okay. No worries. So, hey, Bobby, it's Michael Novak. Hey, Michael, how are you? It's always good to see your face. Yeah. Well, you know, it's here in DC. So you know what the weather is like, you know. Yeah, it's lovely. Did you miss the hurricane? It didn't really affect yours at all. There's some wind, nothing bad. Yeah, same here. Really missed us. So we were lucky. Yeah. So how do I get into door number two? I was with Accenture. And I wanted to talk with the. The consensus than hype or ledger. I don't know, are these timed. Timed sessions or is it you leave and come as you will? You leave and come as you want. Can put you in consensus. Sure. Okay. Have fun. I don't do I get my money back? Yeah, that's true. I think you're, you're in consensus now, but talking to me. See if I can. Yeah. Hi, Jose. Do you need help? Hi guys. No, it's been pretty clear. I'm just trying to understand everything and hopefully see if there is a way for, for me to benefit. Anybody's company at this point. So what skills are you looking to. Work on, like get a position in. That's a, that's a great question. So my background is in real estate and finance. The skills that and also a bit of tech and blockchain. The skills that I'm hoping, hopefully able to provide to a company is in the field of. You know, DFI, you know, providing some type of help with creating smart contracts or in creating some type of. You know, help when it comes to business analysis. I truly enjoy reviewing and analyzing businesses and seeing how they could fit on the blockchain and, you know, share a scope of work that makes sense. So, you know, that's, that's kind of like my background and where I think I would fit. I'm not a super technical person, but, you know, I've been getting to go to DTCC. Did I do the DTCC? No. Because those are they specialize in decentralized finance solutions. Okay. People not just on the technical side of DFI, but who understand financial markets, real estate markets, that kind of thing. So I would jump in there if you wanted to get some insight into the financial markets and the DeFi blockchains. Okay. Let me see. So I just... I can assign you? Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great. Okay. Send it over. Join. Do you need help? Hey, Bobby. Daniel. I was interested in the project that you're specifically working on with your... What is it, the BC employee? The social impact project? The social impact project. And I think I read some way that you're looking... You have an opportunity for people in the supply chain or logistics to become involved? Yes. And I will just explain that in a second. I'm just going to check with Grace if she wants to go into the consensus room, I'm assuming. So I'm just going to send you there. Please. Thank you. Here you go. Okay. I'm so glad that you wanted to discuss this because right now we are... Again, the website is thegivingchain.org and it has most of the information. We're doing a series of checkpoints to build this social impact project and the technology side why supply chains are so important is basically the structure is a donor, a transporter and a recipient and within that supply chain, we're trying to track donations that could vary a lot whether they're monetary or blankets or food or whatever. So that's something that we have in the back of our mind. The first time we did it, we did the sawtooth block chain. We forked the sawtooth lake fish example and we took out the fish and we put in the giving bag and we had barcodes on the bags that would rip off and the person would retain it as proof of... So again, of a blockchain simulation project than an actual blockchain project. And now that we're trying to do the project again in scalable, so I'm going to... I'm just going to slide this over here. I don't know if you can see the giving chain right there on the screen right now. Yeah, it's small but I can see it. Yeah, so right now we're doing three projects. We're doing the project that we did the first time which is the Farmers in New Jersey to the Food Banks in New Jersey. My mentee from Hyperledger, he lives in Utahand and that's the town next to him is really a flood zone in a flooded town. So the farmers in his town are going to get together and get some donations together and he's going to transport them to that town. And then the third or the third project is by the other mentee, her name is Madhu and she's trying to deal with the humanitarian crisis facing Indian women in rural areas right now because the supply chains have all but stopped and she's having... Her issue is getting hygiene products to the women in India in these rural areas. So the giving chain is helping out with that. We're running the projects on September 3rd whether the supply chain is ready or not to collect the data points because what we've learned from the first one was that a digital picture might be the best way to capture and transfer this stuff and that was two years ago and now there's NFTs. So now we were thinking the NFT could build on itself from the first location to the second location to the final recipient location like through a series of smart contracts that adds the picture so that at the end the NFT would just track the entire donation. We're looking at... We looked at Sawtooth again and they informed us that the example that we used is no longer runnable because the software independencies have changed so much and they don't have a working example that we could very easily fork and try to play with. So the people at Firefly are offering us a possible solution as blockchain as a service but we haven't really gotten into their code base or seen anything so any suggestions for this supply chain piece I would love to hear. Okay well basically just pretty much what I do I work for a company out of Maryland it's called Chop Tank Transport and we have I'm on the operation side and I have a sales team so I have access to like 26,000 carriers and then we have several customers several very large customers so I think what I need to do is maybe go visit the giving chain and see exactly where if we can kind of fit in because the good thing about the company that I work for they're always looking to do things as far as outreach. We do some stuff with veterans maybe one or two other organizations so I wasn't quite sure what your need is but if there's any way I could fit in to you know maybe come up with a list of carriers that might be able to interest it. One thing I'm thinking when you mention food you know we have a situation where we work with several small farmers down in the Florida area and in Texas and a lot of times when stuff gets damaged it's not so bad where we can't reach to a wholesaler so if that's a situation where we could be helpful rather than send it to a wholesaler because a lot of times I have to seek those places out myself so rather than go online and seek them out I just call the giving chain. Exactly that's this case. I wish I would have known about this two years ago because well we have to build the technology not ahead of ourselves yet. So for instance one of the things that we had done with the first project was I had also I was building this social impact project with the meet-up groups that I worked with we were tired of just meeting and talking about blockchains we decided to do the project and I got together this social impact outline and we answered the questions and at the time we it was like a want and a need kind of thing and we had all this farmers who have all this produce in New Jersey that they don't know what to do with and at the time I was at a paintball facility in the middle of the state and the gentleman who worked there represents homeless vets off the grid who don't go to the food banks so we had our children once we gathered all the food make 50 giving bags of almost like a survival kit and made them really think about what homelessness looked like and what we what would you want in that bag and then we delivered it to this gentleman at the end of the project. The only need that I think that maybe we have some synergies is is we've never done the project for the giving chain india of women and what we're doing is we found because I don't like anything that's not sustainable so the idea of sending products over there that are plastic and need to be disposed of was not something I was going to do so we found a company or two that make these reusable underwear type thing washable clean and healthy that you can use for several months and if you take care of them even longer I'm assuming but they're sold and marketed to teenagers in the United States so that means that they're very expensive so I'm going to try to work on getting those a little bit affordable but now our problem would be because now we're having a GoFundMe page and the Linux Foundation has a crowdfunding and at the middle of September once we figure out what this product is we're going to take all of that money that we've collected and buy those products and ship them to a few hospitals in rural India and they're going to distribute them. Getting we like that big empty question mark is from my house to your house or my house to the hospital in India any suggestions like we were just going to try FedEx or something like that but if you have any other suggestions and again we've raised about I would say we're approaching a thousand dollars in donations to buy these supplies so we're just starting the fundraising piece we've got a couple of weeks to get that up so we're not ready for India we're not sure yet that my mentee is working on that so I don't want to speak for her because she's running that project she's the project manager so we're talking to a few hospitals and I'm not I could have more information by the end of the week as to what those hospitals look like. Okay yeah if you could give me a location that way I can narrow it all of this stuff anything that I do is based on location you know I may pay somebody ten thousand dollars to go from California to New Jersey I may pay somebody you know a thousand dollars to go from California to Texas so it's very location specific a little bit more detail and location and then I can you know look at not just how to get it there but you know where it will land and you know if the people are going to be honest enough because we're dealing we don't have boots on the ground so first and foremost we need an organization that's going to be honest enough so that when these donations come they're not going to sell them on the black market. Yeah that's why we thought hospitals. Yeah hospitals too so if you can give me a location then I can do my part and research it out and then come up with the best cost and maybe come up with several scenarios so that you have some alternatives. That would be wonderful could you just make sure I have a good email for you in the chat because I don't want to lose this connection with all the other connections I have in the chat. Just go to the chat here type in my email. Yep that's it and then you will be hearing from me and I really appreciate you getting involved in this project we're trying to do. Yeah well you know I'm on the sales side and you know I just have such a appreciation for the whole blockchain and where it's going and where it's going to lead us you know but I'm not a developer so I'm trying to figure out how to get in on either the biz dev side or sales or marketing. Well this project initially when I first went to the Miami Bitcoin convention in 2017 there was a company called Guardium and what I don't even know if they're still operating but they had a token the Guardium and it was for 911 system in rural Africa where there's no governments that are stable so basically this is where my idea came from I think there should be an international disaster relief platform so whenever there's a disaster you don't have to worry about the supply chain we have to worry about the physical supply chain but the technology behind the transfer of goods and services should just be there. What's the Red Cross? Aren't they global and what's the other what is it? Red Cross is a similar organization. There's another organization too I think it's I'm almost wanting to say UNICEF but I don't think that's it. The World Health Organization has similar. WHO yeah but the thing is you know why should we reinvent the wheel if we have these organizations I would think that. The key is decentralized. That's the outreach is to make you know put bring them into the future instead of. Oh no that would be great again I I can't really go around and say oh look at this until we get that technology piece in the next couple months so that's what we want the project to be over at September have all our digital pictures from our project day see if the technicians then can take the next two months because the mentorship program runs to the middle of November and see if we are in Tuma see if we can actually back it up with a blockchain that can track this stuff because that's you know we also like when we hear when we think about the giving chain like for instance in New Jersey everybody has Christmas trees in the winter seaside heights which is a shore town in New Jersey they wanted all the Christmas trees to build a berm to protect from from hurricanes they just couldn't get everybody to tell them where the trees were this would be a perfect solution for something like that get in the paper go to the giving chain tell us where your tree is we'll come get you know that kind of thing so it's not a red cross be moved to get moving it's streamlined it's agile whatever you need when you need it yeah that's a good idea start small yep yeah that's what we're picking small little use cases oh i should get my email did i get um let me check the chat i did thank you cool all right let me know uh you know what locations i'm gonna be looking at then i'll do my part to see what i can come up with great thank you so much all right thank you barbie all right talk soon all right bye i have to turn my back to hosting um mohammed david and dimitri do you need to be put in a room i'm okay okay great well let me know if you need to transfer rooms or if you have any questions of the event or for me i'm here yeah i know it is um to be honest i was literally i was embedded i'm in the u k right now obviously there's a chance to be to listen to something about blockchain from princeton so obviously i could take it but still that's awesome that you're here what's your background like what's your um field uh right now um i was actually um working in report until i had the idea and then developing my idea right now um it's developing to a blockchain idea is for supply chain using blockchain in the supply chain that's i was just talking to the gentleman before about that same idea um you should check out the collider room if you haven't been there before they're um helping me with a supply chain project i'm working on and they're using blockchain as a service so you don't have to have the enormous infrastructure streamlined and agile okay yeah and i hey bobby can i go to um collido sure certainly thank you i'm bobby i'm gonna follow you on linkedin and everything i find you in the social media i'm gonna go to that collider room i'm gonna come back thank you very much okay that would be great and i think john i sent you did you here's john yes he's gone so mohammed or dimitri do you need help yeah hi hi this is dimitri you just want to find out how does this work can i just join oh okay so right now we have um breakout rooms with companies that have lots of blockchain jobs so the first room is Accenture and they do a lot of enterprise-wide solutions then you have DTCC which does a lot of defi and solutions in the decentralized finance space and then there's consensus which has the consensus mesh and trying to do business cases off of the ethereum blockchain and then there's collido which is blockchain as a service they use all the blockchains but they offer it um as a package deal for your use case so if any of those interest you if not i would just jump into consensus um because they do have um a lot of information and a lot of general jobs do um any of them hire independent contractors they're all full-time positions um most of them hire for most of the jobs are like independent contractors because a lot of them are based now out of like the remote um model so um you get hired probably for a job but most of them do want you to stick around but again i i do a lot of um a consultant work and i write training manuals for companies so i'm like a gun for hire if you want a training manual does that make sense so there are positions for blockchain for writers for editors for i'm not sure what industry you've come from yeah i'm in IT and development architecture um and then i would suggest Accenture absolutely all right uh how do i get there and then just drop in just um i can put you into the Accenture room or you can um drop into any of the rooms you want i think you have the the ability in the chat or the participants list to do that but i can put you into Accenture if you'd like yes please thank you no worries hi can you put me to the Accenture too sorry about the english hi manu what room would you like to go into Accenture sorry about my english it's oh no worries it's fine it's fine it's fine thank you so i will move you there now do you need to be put in the room okay everybody's in a room christina's back hi miss bobby all right i think they want to go to Accenture next i'm super excited for the consensus crew and i was able to give him like a tiny little nugget to let him be like king in front of the audience i was like can you explain why consensus is um the marquee event in the blockchain industry and why working at consensus allows you access to the best blockchain thought leadership on the planet and he was like thank you yes i will answer your check tomorrow i was like that's what we do at continuum okay we get this going we get this going all right so you want Accenture yes please there's two rooms for Accenture one has 17 people one has 13 which one do you want roulette bobby muskar gets to choose thank you bye bye hi i didn't send you did i yes i did bobby what about Accenture okay if you're good okay i'm just trying to see you didn't leave the room so you want to go to Accenture you're in consensus let me send you okay yeah i left the other room that there was a quick interview okay there you go no nothing happened okay let's try it again no worries let me see if i can okay so joe you want to go into which room john you want to go into which room Accenture no worries okay there we go yep joe how about you joe let me know if you want to be put in a new room hi bobby yes do you need help no i was just saying hi oh hi how are you good good hi how are you i haven't talked to you in a long time that's why that's why because you're new jersey i'm in florida we don't really see each other what part of florida are you at uh don't hear miami yearly um i will be spending some of my winter months at my uh one of my sister-in-laws homes in fort lord of down oh cool yeah i'm not too far from there we'll have to do a blockchain meetup oh absolutely absolutely man we are we're trying to get one going down here how'd it go yeah well yeah we're looking to get one one meeting meetup going on down here so we haven't started yet yeah because
