Code for America 2018
May 30, 2018 @ 8:00 am - June 1, 2018 @ 5:00 pm PDT
2018’s Summit will cover four big, important themes through workshops, main stage presentations and panels and more.
Workshop Themes
- Product & Prototyping
- Design/Standards
- Buying Better Results
- Data Sharing, Data Science and Machine Learning
Every Summit has covered, in its own way, digital capability in government. In 2018, we’ll be meeting, talking and learning about how to make progress sustainable through topics like hiring, training and integrating new skills and expertise in existing organizations as well as new ones.
In 2018, we’ll be exploring what it looks like when government starts to design policy with tech at the table. How can policy design become more user-centered, data-driven and iterative? And how could that lead to better outcomes?

Title: Using Hyperledger Blockchain Technologies to Deliver Government Services
Date: Friday, June 1st
Time: 1:30pm – 2:30pm
Location: Jr. Ballroom 1

Description: Learn how governments use blockchain technologies and permissioned ledgers to deliver services. This session will introduce Hyperledger, The Linux Foundation’s open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. We will also present a number of existing use case tutorials that showcase service delivery using Hyperledger projects. The session will conclude with an interactive discussion with the audience about how they consider using blockchain technologies and common challenges to overcome.
Who should attend: Anyone interested in learning more about blockchain at either a technical or business level is encouraged to attend. This talk will have technical elements, although it will be accessible to any skill level. More technical discussions can continue at the Technology Fair.
