dc.description.abstract	Blockchain, or distributed ledger, is being described as the next disruptive technology. This session gives attendees an overview of the technology: what it is, how it works, and why archivists and records managers should be interested. Government agencies and businesses are exploring uses for this technology and potential use cases include digital identity, land titling, and smart contracts.	en
