Over 800 attendees joined us at Cornell Tech last Friday to hear from leaders across blockchain, tech, & finance about the New Era of U.S. Innovation in Crypto! The fifth annual Cornell Blockchain Conference was the most successful one in our history: 56 speakers, 15 sponsor partners, media from a dozen publications, a live podcast recording, and a demo session by the inaugural cohort of the IC3/Cornell Blockchain accelerator. The optimistic energy of this year's gathering was evident everywhere, whether in the packed session rooms or in the many discussions that spilled out into the hallways. Beyond hundreds of industry professionals from crypto, Wall Street, and tech, we were excited to welcome hundreds more students and researchers from @Cornell, Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, and Penn, as well as from NYC-area institutions such as Columbia, NYU, Cooper Union, Adelphi, Baruch, Hofstra, Hunter, Pace, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Fordham, Fairfield, Stevens, NJCU, NJIT, and CUNY.
