There are still a few days left to register for the NFAIS Best of
Blockchain virtual webinar.



Based on an overwhelming response and requests for virtual participation,
NFAIS brings you an encore of the top presenters from the Blockchain for
Scholarly Publishing Conference.  You'll hear from five expert speakers at
a fraction of the usual price--three hours of  programming for the cost of
a standard 90-minute webinar.  We believe this is content you simply can't
afford to miss out on!



Blockchain technology--known for powering bitcoin and originally introduced
as a means of securely managing cryptocurrency--is now quickly moving
toward broader adoption and has begun to emerge in other fields, including
scholarly publishing.  Check out this article by NFAIS executive director,
Marcie Granahan, on LinkedIn: “The Internet Didn’t Diminish Commercial
Academic Publishing. Will Blockchain?”.

In this Best of Blockchain virtual webinar, you'll hear about practical
applications, where the scientific and scholarly publishing community may
be headed, as well as arguments for why blockchain may not live up to the
hype.
