DLT Austria Meetups: Our Purpose & Vision
DLT Austria Meetups serve several core objectives:
- They act as a regular touchpoint for enthusiasts in the fields of DLT, Blockchain, Crypto, and beyond.
- They offer a platform to grasp the technical intricacies of Blockchains, discuss ideas, and connect Blockchain aficionados.
- Beyond the scope of the traditional crypto community (maintaining political neutrality and independence), these meetups aim to be the go-to place for anyone interested in "raising awareness about the potential applications of Distributed Ledger Technologies and for use cases that bring added value while offering meaningful system advantages".
Anyone with an inclination towards Blockchain technology is wholeheartedly welcome!
We are excited to either get to know you or see you again!
