Announcement
Salomon Brothers announced an invitation-only online business forum for February 27, 2023, focused on possible applications of blockchain software outside financial services. The notice named Jai Waterman, co-founder and chief executive of Blockstation, as its featured speaker and Adam Smith of Salomon Brothers as moderator. Blockstation had announced Waterman's appointment as CEO the previous year.
The discussion was billed as an exploration of how distributed-ledger systems might be used beyond trading and digital assets. The announcement followed a period of significant cryptocurrency volatility and framed the forum as a way for business leaders to examine the technology separately from speculation about token prices. Attendance was described as free but limited to invitees.
The notice establishes that the forum was announced, not that every planned presentation occurred or that any proposed application was subsequently adopted. Its original registration details concerned a past event and are no longer presented as a current invitation.
