Three non-profit organizations came together in 2019 to organize a Youth Blockchain & AI Conference and Hackathon, which was rebranded during Covid to "Blockchain Business School"  essentially a community of learning and sharing knowledge on fast emerging technologies, future of work, human skills and other topics such as climate, health, media, information and beyond.  During Covid we shifted to a 100% virtual event across 5 countries in the Caribbean and US and since then have shared the event globally as a webinar conference. 

We have during this time registered and given access to many Caymanians finished a eCertificated Blockchain Essentials Course and shared or facilitated access to industry resources, e.g. middle-high school textbook and curriculum, computer donations, etc.. In 2022 a 16 year old Caymanian student applied for and was accepted as a DevCon Scholar, offered by Consensys Academy & Ethereum Foundation. She and others are founding catalysts of this 2024 inaugural youth conference in Cayman. 

We acknowledge our community: BACI, Cayman-based Students, Tech Academies focused on Coding, Robotics, Developer, Blockchain Technology and various audit, legal, mentors and other local firms.
