Around 80 business representatives were in Douglas last week to get to grips with the ins and outs of the Blockchain industry.

Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce hosted the first 'Be the Blockchain' event at Woodbourne House last Thursday (June 20), in partnership with PwC Isle of Man.

Using an analogy of how Blockchain technology could have worked in the 1950s using paper process and limited tech, the interactive experience gave those who attended the chance to learn about its concepts and how it works.

It comes after the Isle of Man Blockchain Office - based at The Hubb on Victoria Street - was launched earlier this year.
