The forum’s agenda will comprise of both enterprise and technical tracks covering a mix of topics including blockchain in the enterprise, distributed ledger and smart contracts 101, roadmaps for Hyperledger projects, industry keynotes and use cases in development. The first two days will feature a forum with keynotes, breakout sessions and a technical showcase, while the following two days will feature hands-on tutorials, and workshop events, with the week culminating in a hackathon.
The event will provide opportunities to the attendees to build their social network, and hacking activities with mentors to help facilitate software development collaboration and knowledge sharing to bring developers up the learning curve.

"For anyone still wrestling with how blockchain will transform businesses processes, and where their industry fits in, this is the perfect opportunity to learn more."
In addition, attendees, members and non-members, will have the chance to get in touch with Hyperledger project maintainers and the Technical Steering Committee, collaborate with other organizations on ideas that will directly impact the future of Hyperledger, and promote their work among the communities.
