Beer and Blockathon in London, UK

LONDON - Jan. 17, 2019 - PRLog -- We invite hundreds to the inaugural Beer and Blockathon taking place on 23-24 February. Join us in igniting a community of challengers--challenging the status quo with commercially viable technical solutions. Come kick it off with us at our Pre-Hackathon Networking Party on Friday, 22 February.

"Hackers change our lives! Get fresh beer. Finalists get to pitch for investors. All in just a couple days! " says Jan Softa, CEO of Somerco.

Blockchain. Cryptocurrency. Bitcoin. Tokens. ICOs. STOs. Are these buzzwords with substance? They have caused a shift in how we transact, run our businesses and govern society. Today, blockchain can be applied to almost any industry sector, resulting in an unprecedented inflection point in the so-called fourth industrial revolution that is affecting every part of the globe.

"We see the Beer and Blockathon as an opportunity to engage and nourish the blockchain talent in London and beyond. Let's break the status quo together with serious hacking and fresh beers!" says CEO of the Craft Coin Company, Florian Bollen. "Since the invention of beer around 10,000 years ago, the consistent value of a pint of beer over time has been well understood. Our innovative Craft Beer Coin is pegged to that psychological reality, and we look forward to this being the catalyst of the craft beer movement."

Blockchain developers are highly sought after in the global cosmopolitan city--London. As a rapidly advancing and developing sector, the opportunity to network and learn from the experience of other like-minded individuals is invaluable (and fun!). The blockchain startup scene in London is growing rapidly and has attracted explosive startups, academia, and investors, alike. We are launching a space and opportunity to channel this vibrant energy and have a fitting slogan to the hackathon - the Beer and Blockathon!

Over two days, multidisciplinary teams consisting of backend developers, front end engineers, scrum masters, marketing talents, and pitch masters will come together and compete to build a commercially viable, technical solution. Winning teams will have a chance to pitch to investors and turn their solution into reality!

It is partnering with the Craft Coin Company to launch the first ever "Beer and Blockathon", hosted at German Kraft Brewery within Mercato Metropolitano.
