From September 27- October 1 of 2021, the Government Blockchain Association, GBA, will be bringing together blockchain enthusiasts from around the globe for their big event, Government Blockchain Week in Washington DC.

In spite of the ravaging of COVID-19, the GBA is planning to hold this event live in many of the iconic buildings of the Capital City. The September week will be the third time that this event has been moved farther into the future in hopes that when Government Blockchain Week finally happens, attendees will have no fears of contracting the virus.

The week will begin with a Blockchain Foundations class on Monday, along Embassy Row at the British Embassy’s Rotunda building. At the same time, Blockchain Use for State and Local Governance will be held at the Attorney General’s Office downtown.

On Tuesday, a DC government agency building will host the Blockchain, Innovation & Economic Growth with Pitch Competition. Competitors from around the globe will be pitching their blockchain solutions to a panel of investors and government policymakers. Prize money, as well as the chance to advance to the World Business Angels Investment Forum world competition is at stake. The winners will be chosen at the end of the day.

While this is going on, the Department of International Trade UK at the British Embassy will host Blockchain, International Trade and International Aid.

On Tuesday evening, attendees can purchase tickets for Blockchain Ambassadors, held at the historic Whittemore House, for an evening to network under the stars. This cocktail party, the first of 3 Evening Receptions, will feature strolling musicians, parlor talks in the grand rooms of the mansion, catering fit for a President, networking in Eleanor Roosevelt’s library, finishing off with brandy and cigars out on the patio as the evening comes to a close.

Wednesday will be a day full of cryptocurrency and cybersecurity. Beginning with the Legal, Law Enforcement and Cybersecurity Forum happening in tandem with the Money, Banking and Cryptocurrency Forum. Guests will agonize over which one to attend, because they will miss the other.

In the late afternoon, selected guests will be invited to the FinTech Round Table, hosted by the Embassy of Bahrain. This invitation only meeting of the minds will allow banking regulators and finance policymakers a chance to meet and discuss the changes that are happening in their industry.

On Wednesday evening, on the rooftop of the International SPY Museum, the GBA will host CryptoNite, and electric, black tie event filled with intrigue and drama. Words cannot describe what CryptoNite is. You just have to be there. This is the second of the 3 Evening Receptions.

On Thursday and Friday, the big guns of the Speakers’ list will show up at the Congressional Auditorium of the US Capitol where GBA will host their 2-day flagship event, The Future of Money, Governance, & The Law. During these two days, global leaders in blockchain, finance, cryptocurrency, government, and law enforcement will discuss where and how blockchain will dramatically change their industry.

Annual Achievement Awards,

and a Digital Art Show.
