2019 - Block Chain Made Easy - Introduction and Basics for Non-Techies

Overview
Once a block is written to the blockchain it can't be altered by anyone. If somebody tries to introduce a fake transaction into the ledger, he can only do so by adding it to all copies of distributed ledger (which is not possible, as every block is cryptographically linked with previous and next block) else that transaction is spotted and will be removed. Before a record is written to the blockchain, it needs to be verified and this is done by special nodes (computers) called miners.
Why should you Attend
Today there is hardly any business that can't be migrated over to blockchain, so business leaders need to understand it. There are many advantages to using blockchain and distributed ledger technology. Blockchain provides the following benefits:

Robust Security - resilient to all sort of cyber attacks
Better Traceability - products can be traced from farm to fork
