Computational Law & Blockchain Festival (#clbfest2018) is a global event bringing together coders, designers, lawyers, policymakers, researchers, and students to co-create the future of law, legal practice, and policy. The Festival is designed to be as inclusive as possible, with activity tracks for participants of all backgrounds, interests, and skill levels. This event will offer two tracks:
1. Learn
New to computational law or blockchain technology? Need a blockchain 101? Want to learn how to write a smart contract? Learn the basics from local and global experts at our educational sessions and workshops. In this track, we will teach you how to create your first blockchain application.
2. Hack
Are you a coder or designer? Take part in our Global Challenge, a distributed, 24-hour hackathon that challenges participants to build open-source computational law and blockchain-for-law uses cases with a chance to win awesome prizes.
