-- Maryland's first major blockchain career conference opens July 13 at Capitol Technology University in Laurel, delivering five days of blockchain education, workforce development, and career programming for residents at every stage of their careers and education.
Maryland Blockchain & Career Week is designed to serve high school students, adult career changers, legal and compliance professionals, business owners, retirees, and families — built around the region's rapidly growing demand for blockchain-literate talent.
SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, who leads the Securities and Exchange Commission's Crypto Task Force, will deliver remarks to high school students as part of the conference programming. State officials and legislative staff will participate in technology- and workforce-focused sessions throughout the week.
“This is Maryland's conference — built in Maryland, designed for Maryland, and free for Marylanders. We're 25 miles from the U.S. Capitol. The jobs emerging in this region will define Maryland's next decade, and tech is where they are being created right now.” — Jacqueline Cooper, JD, Founder, Maryland Blockchain Association
The conference runs at Capitol Technology University in Laurel, a nationally accredited STEM institution serving as both venue and educational partner. More than 500 attendees are expected across the five days.
Maryland residents can register at no charge at www.marylandblockchainassociation.org/summer-conference.
