The agenda for the Cisco CEO-CIO Leadership Council has now been released. The website describes the event as one that brings together:
CEOs from Fortune Global 500 companies with their CIOs, or senior most IT strategists. The event's highly interactive format encourages peer collaboration and discussions on the most timely and transformative issues facing today's organizations.
Scheduled to run March 18-20 this year, the event will feature speakers such as Chairman and CEO of Cisco John Chambers, former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Tony Blair and former President of Israel Shimon Peres. Among the topics for discussion? Bitcoin, of course!
The title of the discussion, The New Payments Ecosystem, will look at the following topics:
- How will mobile payments and digital currency change the entire value chain?
- Will virtual currency fill a much-needed void for the "unbanked" of the developing world?
- Is the Bitcoin platform the game changer? What is the opportunity for large companies?
- Who is the next disruptor in the payments space ?
When the price of bitcoin drops and useful idiots are sent forth to push the narrative that Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, keep it in mind that so-called former world leaders, CEOs and CIOs are gathering to hear about the "game changer" that is Bitcoin.
