Ignoring the market and speculation of crypto tokens, let's explore how these crypto tokens, notably Ethereum, have improved! Join Scott Bigelow, VP of Engineering at Amberdata (a blockchain data company) in an interactive exploration. He’ll share what cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum, are capable above, aside from being bought, sold, and transferred. This session will discuss topics such as "stable" coins, cross-chain bridges, games, hardware wallets, and more.</p> <p>Agenda:</p> <p>5:30 pm – Doors open / Networking 6:00 pm - Presentation / Q & A 7:00pm - Networking 7:30 pm - Event ends</p> <p>Event FAQ</p> <p>Q: Will there be gender neutral restrooms?</p> <p>A: Yes.</p> <p>Q: Is the space ADA accessible?</p> <p>A: Yes.</p> <p>Q: Will there be food and drink at this event?</p> <p>A: Yes.</p> <p>Q: What is the parking situation?</p> <p>A: We do not have on-site parking. There is usually plenty of street parking.</p> <p>Q: Is there any special information that might help me find the entrance?</p> <p>A: No.</p> <p>Q: Is there secured bike parking?</p> <p>A: We have a bike room on our floor for approximately 10 bikes; if this gets full the building has parking on the 3rd floor. This is indoor parking with lockers. When parking here, it is like parking on the street. There is not someone monitoring this area.</p> <p>Q: Should I consider using public transportation?</p> <p>A: There is a trolley that comes past our building, but it's by no means necessary.</p> <p>Q: Can I bring my dog?</p> <p>A: No. We ask that you leave your furry friend at home.</p> <p>Purpose:</p> <p>PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.</p> <p>Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.pdxwit.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
