Women in Blockchain Panel Highlights Significant Evening During London Blockchain Conference 2024
On May 22, 2024, the Women in Blockchain panel event took place alongside the London Blockchain Conference (LBC) 2024, featuring approximately 50 female professionals and entrepreneurs in the tech space. The event, moderated by Lavinia Osbourne of Women in Blockchain Talks, provided a platform for networking and discussion on significant issues within the industry.
The panel included Christine Leong of nChain, Divya Prashanth of JurnyOn, and Lauren Ingram of Women of Web3. Ingram, who founded Women of Web3 in 2022 post her tenure at Meta, highlighted the need for more women in blockchain—a field where nine out of ten startups typically lack female co-founders.
The discussion emphasized the importance of moving beyond jargon and the potential mainstream adoption of blockchain through seamless integration in daily use. Ingram pointed out the role of blockchain in verifying data produced by AI, predicting a catalyst for widespread adoption would be a "killer application."
The panel event celebrated the concentrated female representation in a space where women are often in the minority, fostering a unique and supportive atmosphere for attendees.
