IBM officially joins the 2016 Consensus Conference and becomes one of the four major blockchain investors. The conference will be held at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel from May 2nd to 4th.

As a founding member of the open source Linux Foundation Hyperledger project and a promoter of global blockchain technology collaboration and innovation, IBM is working to rebuild business networks in the financial, healthcare, insurance, supply chain and Internet of Things industries.

So far, the Hyperledger project has attracted top financial institutions such as the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and the Japan Exchange Group (JPX), both of which are the world's largest stock exchange operators.

Jerry Cuomo

Jerry Cuomo, Vice President of Blockchain Technologies at IBM, said:

“IBM is pleased to be a sponsor of the 2016 Consensus conference, which provides a platform for discussion of ideas around blockchain and advances a strong open source approach to making blockchain technology more accessible to enterprises.”

IBM has more than 700 employees working on dedicated open source projects, and close to 10,000 employees involved in open source software such as Linux, Node.js and Hyperledger.

The 2016 Consensus Conference perfectly demonstrated cross-industry cooperation. In the face of emerging new technologies, the industry's most well-known innovators will discuss their solutions on the spot at the conference.

Ryan Selkis, CoinDesk team director, said:

“We are delighted to welcome IBM as one of our four major block sponsors for Consensus 2016. Our attendees will benefit greatly from IBM’s active participation and IBM’s unique perspective on building a blockathon will be very useful in the discussion group.”

Joining the 2016 Consensus conference as title sponsors are IBM, Deloitte, CME Group, ConsenSys, Santander and Symbiont.

The three-day symposium was divided into two sessions - 'Business' and 'Technology & Policy', highlighting the opportunities presented by the blockchain community, such as the potential of blockchain in industries ranging from capital markets to global supply chains and the Internet of Things.

Confirmed speakers include industry CEOs (Abra’s Bill Barhydt; itBit’s Charles Cascarilla), technology leaders (Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin; Bitcoin’s Gavin Andresen), and government representatives (former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers; Delaware Governor Jack Markell).

IBM blockchain leader Jerry Cuomo, distributed ledger engineer Gari Singh and global distribution chief John Wolpert will also speak.
