Bringing together leaders from digital and institutional finance, leading blockchain
networks, C-suite executives, venture firms, government, enterprise, and the creators and communities driving Web3 forward, Rare Evo serves as a neutral ground where the industry’s most important conversations and collaborations take place.
Highlighting the conference’s commitment to local engagement, Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar will moderate a Las Vegas enterprise panel discussion on July 29 at 12 p.m. focused on how leading local organizations are navigating emerging technology and long-term growth. Confirmed panelists include Danielle Casey, President & CEO of the LVGEA, and Brian Kleven, CFO of Dignity Health with more to be announced soon.
“Las Vegas isn’t just our venue, it’s been home base for the past few years now
and we wanted this year’s program to reflect that,” said Rand McHenry, Co-Founder at Rare Network. “Bringing together leaders from healthcare, government, economic development and banking for a conversation about where this technology is headed felt like the right way to show the local community that blockchain isn’t some far-off industry, it’s already shaping the institutions you interact with every day.”
