    Enterprise focused blockchain summit that took place in partnership with PTC LiveWorx during the June 2019 Boston, MA LiveWorx conference.

    Description: Organizations are showing that they are willing to upgrade their traditional ledgers with blockchain-style distributed ledgers, and are already engaging with their supply chains and competitors to assess and capture the full value of this upcoming transformation.

    Which type of blockchain/distributed ledgers exist and which one to use based on your use case and company culture
    What the barriers to greater adoption are and how the early adopters are dealing with it to fully capitalize on the opportunities
    Where commercial blockchain applications are emerging
    Metrics to measure blockchain results and ensure a positive ROI

Wearable World selects a featured company share their ideas on how developers and designers can create apps connecting them with their customers to improve the overall experience.

    WHAT IS AN INVENTS SERIES?

    Wearable World Invents is an ongoing series of developer competitions designed to create real world solutions for unique verticals in big business. Wearable World works closely with the featured company to identify pain points and areas of improvement, then brings together top talent in a competition to create mobile and wearable apps to fill these needed improvements.

    The end goal is the development of the next big market-feasible app that ultimately benefits the featured company’s customers, employees, or even both in some cases. Long-term value is then realized by satisfying the end user with cutting-edge apps while also providing valuable time and big cost savings across the company.

    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Wearable World invites select developer teams to join a 24-hour event where they compete to create the best app to potentially solve the featured company’s pain points initially presented at commencement. In the end, judges hear pitches and chose the top five teams to advance to the next round.

A top team is chosen and featured company offers a contract to present a proof-of-concept with a clear path to market.
