A fireside chat with Peter Smith, Blockchain CEO, hosted by Brian Rose of London Real TV.

Forward Partners LIVE is the leading monthly tech event in London.

For our special #LDNTechWeek event we welcome, all the way from NYC, Blockchain CEO Peter Smith.

Blockchain really needs no introduction. Blockchain technology is transforming the way we think about transactions and finance. With over $10bn expected to be invested into blockchain technologies in 2016 we’ve only just scratched the surface of its potential.

We are very excited to welcome Peter Smith to Forward Partners LIVE alongside veteran interviewer Brian Rose from London Real TV. Brian has been doing some fantastic work interviewing the likes of Chris Eubank & Gary Vaynerchuck all the way to Eddie Izzard & Imogen Heap. Founded in October 2011, London Real has now filmed over 200 episodes, amassed over 250k subscribers and been viewed over 40 million times.

About our guest, Peter Smith:

As the Chief Executive Officer of the leading global developer of Bitcoin software, Peter Smith focuses on making Bitcoin easy, secure and accessible to everyone on the planet. He is excited about leading Blockchain as it grows from 7 million users to 200 million users. Peter has a relentless drive and passion for cutting complexity and managing rapid expansion. Peter has lived, studied and worked in the US, Europe, MENA, East Africa and Asia. When he isn’t basking in the glow of a laptop, you can find him out running, trekking, surfing, and climbing up or skiing down a mountain.

About Brian Rose:

Brian moved to the UK from America thirteen years ago to be an Investment Banker in the City of London. Inspired by the Joe Rogan Experience he quit his job after 10 years and founded London Real in 2011 & Silicon Real in 2013 to create alternative options to conventional media and embrace a more traditional narrative form. Originally from California, Brian studied Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Finance at the Sloan School of Management.
