“As the first keynote speaker at our first Blockchain Law for Social Good Center conference, Prof. Evans put blockchain’s potential front and center for our audience. She discussed the ways that blockchain and Web3 can offer financial inclusion opportunities to populations excluded from traditional finance and banking services. Her keynote was dynamic and engaging!”
