PM Insight Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting - Enabling the Rise of Decentralized Economy

We will discuss how Blockchain technology has been changing how humans transacted for thousand of years. For the first time, through the power of cryptography, we are able to eliminate the need to trust a third party to transact with other people and organizations. Some specific examples of how this innovation will shape the future of our civilization will be discussed. We will then dive deeper into the technical details of the Blockchain technology and issues that need to be overcome for the adoption of the technology. We will outline the work done at AMD to address some of these issues and accelerate the adaption of Blockchain technology.

Tech + Leadership

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: Tech + Leadership When: Sat April 23rd 2022 8:30am-1:00pm Sun April 24th 2022 8:30am-1:00pm Where: Virtually by Zoom Price: Early Bird: PMISV member: $99 Non-PMISV member: $111 Regular: PMISV member: $119 Non-PMISV member: $139 Last date for On-line Registration: 04/20/2022 Last date for early bird discount: 04/17/2022 Description: In almost every field, from engineering to sales, the transition from practitioner to leader poses a particular challenge: Refocusing individual identity to encompass the success of a team rather than relying purely upon technical prowess. No matter how many examples we see of unparalleled experts in their field whose teams perpetually flounder, when the time comes for our own transitions, learning to base our pride around an entirely new set of metrics remains a universal challenge. But there is good news! With a slight shift in perspective, the exact same skills that led to technical prowess can be used to build and support world-class teams.
