The Blockchain Association of Ireland (BAI) is going from strength to strength with 2017 being something of a coming of age year for the technology.

A meeting can have from thirty to over a hundred participants from diverse sectors and areas with expertise as likely to be from insurance professional to poets!
Ireland can boast some serious players and events in what is becoming a very exciting space.
