The Panel was lead by Shaun Rowles, Author of Money Revolution: Fintech Disruption from Bullion to Bitcoin which I was able to recieve a copy of at the event which proved to be a useful resource. Panel guests included founder and CEO of Applied Blockchain Adi Ben-Ari, art critic and professor at the Ringling College of Art and Design Tom Winchester, head of international and events at Legion M Entertainment Inc. Clare Bateman-King and founder and head writer of the Bleeding Cool entertainment website Rich Johnston. I took extensive notes and recorded audio of the panel.
