Announcing Blockchain Week NYC in Partnership with the NYC EDC

A full week of amazing blockchain events.  Blockchain is taking the world by storm. Here in New York City, we're committed to seeing the city become a hub for blockchain development.  That's why we've partnered with the NYC Economic Development Corp. to launch Blockchain Week NYC, a full week of must-attend events anchored by Consensus 2018.  We are also announcing our inaugural Blockchain Job Fair, the largest in the world. This is open to the general public and will take place at the New York Hilton Midtown on Wednesday, May 16th from 2pm - 5pm.  A Full Week of Events We have seen incredible demand for talent in terms of diversity, skills, and backgrounds and see a massive gap between the labor market and industry needs.  By partnering with the NYCEDC, we see a great opportunity to shrink this gap, leveraging the New York City labor market to strengthen the market.  New York City Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development, Alicia Glen, said: "We’re thrilled to be partnering with CoinDesk on Blockchain Week New York, helping New Yorkers access these quality innovation jobs, and raising awareness of this transformative technology."
