REVOLUTIONIZING FINANCIAL SERVICES LANDSCAPE WITH DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
9 - 11 NOVEMBER 2016 | SWISSȎTEL SYDNEY
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the finance industry’s expenditure on technology being greater than any other industry, technology start-ups are
disintegrating traditional banking by taking on lending, payment and even investing services. In an age of near-constant
technological innovation, many incumbents are investing in fintech innovations to transform the way they can deliver
financial services.
With cumulative venture capital investment in blockchain technology peaking at $921 million in 2015 and multinational
banks and financial institutions including Citi, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan analyzing, testing or investing in blockchain
and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) to enable greater efficiency, security and lower costs. There has never been a
more critical time where innovation is so crucial to the success and survival of financial institutions.
Join us at the inaugural Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Distributed Ledger Forum to explore how innovative
technologies disrupt and revolutionize financial services. Hear from industry thought leaders and evangelists share
the various applications of blockchain technology in the finance sector and examine how to overcome the security and
privacy issues in distributed ledgers.
Through our carefully crafted agenda, you will have the opportunity to discuss how to embrace and cultivate disruptive
innovations with senior decision makers, thought leaders and evangelists in the APAC region. You will gain insight on
managing and adopting disruptive fintech innovations within your organization’s processes to transform how you deliver
financial services to your customers and envision what the future holds for blockchain technology in the financial sector.
Book your seats now and be where the financial technology visionaries around the region will gather! Mark
9 - 11 November 2016 in your calendar now!

Main Forum Agenda
DAY ONE - 10 NOVEMBER 2016
UNDERSTANDING BLOCKCHAIN AND UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGIES
“Personal Computers in 1975, the Internet in 1993, and - I believe - Bitcoin in 2014.”
- Marc Andreessen, Cofounder & General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz
With the emergence of Bitcoin in 2008, blockchain and distributed ledger technology surpass Bitcoin and emerged as the enabling forces
behind Bitcoin’s ability to offer low-cost, secure, transparent and anonymous transactions. However, despite the hype and huge amount of
investment around the technologies, few actually understand how they work and what they entail, especially given that the technologies are
still in their infancy.

IBM Global Financing Case Study: Using Blockchain to Minimize Disputed Transactions and
Overcome Market Friction
For centuries market friction such as imperfect information, interaction and
innovation has been the greatest barrier to wealth creation and is estimated
to be costing global and local business billions of dollars due to a drag on
efficiency. IBM Global Financing, a channel financing operation that spans
a worldwide network of more than 4,000 suppliers and partners, is using
Blockchain technology to resolve and reduce disputed transactions, historically
in the order of 25,000 each year, which previously tied up around $100M in
capital at any given time. IBM’s implementation of a distributed ledger for its
business networks, based on blockchain technology, eliminated these frictions
and transformed the way in which businesses work together and people interact.
With everything in potential flux, from banking and airline reservation systems
to social security and interactions with the department of motor vehicles, IBM
is working with clients to explore how they too can leverage the benefits of
blockchain. Dee McGrath, Vice President, Financial Services IBM Asia Pacific,
will explain why IBM is investing so heavily in this disruptive technology and
building out an ecosystem of partners and clients to rapidly advance the
adoption of distributed ledger technology across industry.

The Distributed Future: Application of Blockchain, Smart Contracts and
Distributed Ledger Technology Beyond Financial Services
To be conducted by Tim Lea, CEO, Veredictum.io
1. Intro to the Blockchain - comparing it to the internet of 1994/5, where email was the first use case and TCP/IP was the underlying
technology. With Blockchain bitcoin was the first use case and Blockchain the underlying technology.
2. Top level view of the VC market for bitcoin/Blockchain - following the smart money shows where the industry is heading
3. What is the Blockchain? An intro in layman’s terms - with some technical aspects highlighted
4. The Power of the Blockchain - the 5 core pillars of strength
5. The Disadvantages of the Blockchain - the 5 core dangers and risks
6. PRACTICAL EXCERCISE: The practicality of the Blockchain - opening up a cryptocurrency wallet (going on line) - with the audience
ideally opening up a wallet via their smart phones. I will send them each some bitcoin crytpotcurrency - this all shows the difficulty in

About Your Workshop Leader
Tim R. Lea
CEO
Veredictum.io
Frustrated by a corporate career in finance, working with such names as GE Capital, HSBC, and
Lloyds Bank, Tim took the entrepreneurial leap of faith and plunged deep into Web 1.0 in February
1995, setting up an internet cafe-bar & restaurant and a web design house, which he sold in 2001,
prior to calling Australia his home.
Here, he followed his passion for screenwriting, culminating in him writing, directing and coproducing an internationally award-winning feature film, 54 Days in 2014. When Tim came across
the Blockchain for the first time in August last year he had that light bulb moment when he realised
there was the chance to finally do something about film piracy and theft, and he set up Veredictum.

Tim is a regular speaker, writer and trainer on the strategic application of Blockchain.
