This year’s HistoCrypt conference will involve a unique line-up of world-renowned speakers and panelists – including Bill Clinton, Giovanni Infantino, and Bill Cosby.
HistoCrypt (June 23-26 in Mons, Belgium), Europe’s most important crypto history conference, is once again approaching. It is a great honor for me to have been chosen to take the office of the program chair of this event. It goes without saying that I’m doing my best to hire as many top-level speakers and panelists as possible. The outstanding reputation of HistoCrypt (and perhaps my outstanding reputation) have made this task a lot easier.
Here is an excerpt from the (priliminary) agenda of HistoCrypt 2019:
