Monthly Breakfast Series - Special Presentation: Blockchain and Smart Contracts: Hype vs. Reality

Chamber members and guests are invited to a special presentation by Business Lawyer Eric Kintner, Partner with Snell & Wilmer.

 Some people believe that the technology most likely to have the greatest impact on business, government and the larger society over the next 20 years is the technology that underlies digital currency, like bitcoin. This technology is called blockchain. While there may be some truth as to blockchain’s enormous potential, Eric also believes we need to recognize the hype vs. reality with potential blockchain applications. In this presentation, he will review some big modern day problems that blockchain applications are currently working to solve. In addition,  he will review the potential for the use of smart contracts in commerce and the current legal challenges with using them.

Founded in 1938, Snell & Wilmer is a full-service business law firm with more than 400 attorneys practicing in nine locations throughout the western United States and in Mexico. The firm represents clients ranging from large, publicly traded corporations to small businesses, individuals, and entrepreneurs.
