Robert J. Brown
Broadcast live from
Washington DC, June 18-19, 2021, with contributions from
chapters around the globe, GBA will virtually present its
annual state of the union to the world. The GBA global
leadership team will present their blockchain results so far
and discuss where we are headed for the next
decade.
The featured Keynote speaker, Dr. Robert Brown
will share his wisdom gained from decades of working with
world leaders, industry titans, and civil rights leaders.
The Washington Post called him a “World Class Power Broker”.
Just some of his many accomplishments
include:
- Key advisor to the late Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. - Involved in the Robert Kennedy
campaign - Special Assistant to President Richard
Nixon - Close friend and confidant of Nelson
Mandela - Consulted with many prominent US
corporations on race relations and crisis
management - Worked on the committee that established
the legislation creating the Office of Minority Business
Enterprise within the US Department of Commerce - He
signed the documents that increased funding for historical
black colleges & universities under President
Nixon - Serves on the boards of numerous universities
and corporations - He holds eleven honorary doctorate
degrees from prestigious institutions of higher
learning.
Dr. Brown has handled communications
and race relations during pivotal moments of the civil
rights movement. His ability to build bridges between
Democrats and Republicans during the Civil Rights heyday,
makes him an exceptional choice for blockchain leaders who
will face inevitable backlash as this technology
revolutionizes the landscape for many in power. How are we
to move forward in a respectful and mutually beneficial
manner?
As blockchain technology continues to disrupt
every industry, GBA influencers will need to hear the
lessons learned from this icon of history.
The
Government Blockchain Association, (GBA), is honored to have
Dr. Brown as a keynote speaker for Blockchain and Liberty
for All.
“Political freedom must be accompanied by
economic freedom for people to be truly free. Blockchain
Technology is a new frontier in the economic landscape,”
says Gerard Dache, Executive Director,
GBA.
