Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) – What They Mean for The Legal Industry with Spencer Smith

As blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are beginning to hit the mainstream, it’s important for legal professionals to develop at least a cursory understanding of these technologies. You’ll leave this session knowing both the what and the how of the three topics.

Spencer X Smith has both consulted with and invested in myriad companies across these fledgling technologies (including blockchain construction company DigiBuild, currency exchange Kraken, and NFT fund Republic Realm), and can deliver what legal professionals need to know in plain English about these very-important topics.After starting his career at IBM during the Y2K days, Spencer has always been an early adopter of new technology so he can better teach others what he’s learned. He’s given over 250 in-person speeches, including ALA Annuals, 13 different ALA Chapters, and the New York Stock Exchange.
