London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/01/2016 -- Zero Field Labs is a Blockchain focused venture founded by Ms Arifa Khan who has successfully built the Fintech Storm Series in UK & India corridor since 2014, the series notable for spotting and showcasing fintech blockbusters way before they become well-recognised brands, as well as their flagship Europe-India Conclave which tries to bridge the Banking, Payments & Fintech ecosystems.
Blockchain Technology is widely acknowledged as a game changer by stalwarts of many industries, central banks, and rule-makers globally.
Blockchain Storm Global Series (www.blockchainstorm.co) is launching in Geneva on 30 Sep 2016, and chose Geneva as its destination for launch as Switzerland represents the best of Blockchain & Banking - the theme of the first international conference - the Swiss preeminence in the entire financial services industry including banking and asset management, as also the concentration of first wave of blockchain inventors including Ethereum. The founder spent her formative years in investment banking with Swiss Banks UBS and Credit Suisse, and is influenced by the pristine Swiss landscapes that can only be conducive to the development of purely mathematical inclinations.
The full day conference on 30 Sep brings together an impressive array of Open Source Proponents like Brian Behlendorf of the Hyperledger Project of the Linux Foundation, Vinay Gupta, Ian Grigg, path-breaking Blockchain inventions like Bigchain DB, Evernym, IOTA Token, Solar Coin, Diamond Coin and Blockchain investor Coinsilium to name a few of the 20 speakers showcased. The overarching theme would be how the technology would transform the financials services infrastructure and the conference will urge stakeholders to discover their new place in the soon to be reconfigured world - one that is blockchain-enabled. Intersections of Blockchain with Banking, Capital markets, Regulation, and Key technologies of the future such as AR/VR, IOT, Robotics, AI, Machine Learning will be explored as also the industry mashups to take birth in a whole new sharing economy propelled by distributed ledgers, smart contracts and decentralised autonomous organisations - DAOs.
Speaking on what compelled her to focus on Blockchain now, the founder affirmed - "From Governments to Mathematicians and Economists, from banking behemoths to spunky startups, from strategists to coders, the most diverse of professional fields have been brought together by a sole phenomenon called blockchain. If the last few decades didn't already put the power back in the hands of technocrats, wielding it from the capitalists and industrialists, another such unmistakable tipping point is upon us again. It would be indolent not to seek a thrill ride on this wildly challenging pursuit."
On what is exciting about the technology "as far reaching in its potential impact, from the mundane business of collecting taxes to the crafty political science of which cryptocurrency to outlaw, blockchain has all the intellectual challenge that confronts a quantum physicist, and the thrill of an inter-planetary expedition!" quipped Ms Khan an Engineer by training from the famed Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai. She has plans to set up a first cross border Accelerator in the London-Mumbai corridors.
"The hundreds of blockchain meet-ups sprouting all over the world, the staggering range and depth of multifarious talent uniting in their mission to unravel the mysteries of this new field, are inspiring us to elevate our cross-sector and cross-function coordination capabilities to another dimension. Blockchain Storm has embarked on this ambitious mission of facilitating dialogue between diverse stakeholders, different geographies and sectors like Banking, Payments, Financial services, key technologies like Artificial Intelligence, IoT, AR&VR, Cloud, Big Data, Blockchain - and make sense of this storm. Making sense of a potpourri of trends by distinguished future gazers. Blockchain Storm is fired with the mission of strengthening this smart eco-system of futurists & adventurers!" Ms Khan elaborated further.
Surely ambitious in its scope, and high on passion and dynamism of the conference chair, this is set to be a huge success by the sheer diversity of ideas it brings together and the mental horse-power of the leaders it showcases. Blockchainers are well-advised to watch out for this and the future editions in New Delhi, Monaco, Shanghai, Luxembourg and Dubai.
