The Black Blockchain Summit is excited to announce a Global Online Hackathon and Pitching competition. The goal of the hackathon is to build solutions within the Global Black Community that address the Agenda items from the recently held Black Blockchain Summit.

The Black Blockchain Summit 2018, was an interactive 2-day conferencing event, held on the 10th to 11th September 10th – 11th 2018, at the prestigious Howard University in Washington DC.
The summit brought together Blockchain Enthusiasts, Entrepreneurs and Thinkers to discuss a myriad of key challenges facing Black communities around the World. The objective of the summit was to find innovative and lasting solutions that disrupts the unsustainable status-quo, bringing lasting prosperity and independence as envisaged by freedom fighters and liberators in the “Arusha Declaration”.

The Summit brought together experienced speakers from around the globe discussing a myriad of topics in an interactive debate format which we call in Swahili language “Baraza”.
The Summit covered a myriad of key issues facing Black communities around the World and how Blockchain technology could be utilized to build disruptive solutions. We believe that through the use of disruptive Technology like Blockchain, and harnessing Black Cultural Competency, problems facing Black societies globally can be resolved in a timely and effective manner.

The Virtual Hackathon and Online Pitching Competition will bring together participants to build solutions following the agenda items that were selected from the Summit resolutions.
