"We had the opportunity to attend a presentation by Jack Shaw on ​Introduction to  Blockchain and Its Effects on the CPA Industry​. Jack started by giving a plain English  introduction of blockchain technology including an overview of how  cryptocurrencies and smart contracts work. He continued his presentation by  discussing how blockchain is predicted to impact CPA firms in the future.  Participants who attended in person and remotely left the presentation with a sense  of excitement and eagerness to know what lies ahead. “
