Say hello to the decentralized economy -- the blockchain is about to change everything. In this lucid explainer of the complex (and confusing) technology, Bettina Warburg describes how the blockchain will eliminate the need for centralized institutions like banks or governments to facilitate trade, evolving age-old models of commerce and finance into something far more interesting: a distributed, transparent, autonomous system for exchanging value.

The values and stability of the European Union are under threat as never before. Brexit, the refugee crisis and the conflict in Ukraine indicate the increasing tension in the EU and neighboring countries. How will Brexit affect Europe? Will London’s role as a global financial center diminish as banks seek new homes within the EU? How will Britain’s relationships with Germany and other European countries change with respect to manufacturing, trade, finance and monetary policy? Against a backdrop of great uncertainty and transition, this panel will seek to examine Europe’s post-Brexit future.
Speakers: Marieluise Beck, German Representative, Council of Europe and MEP; Member, Parliamentary Assemblies of the Council of Europe and OSCE
Niall Ferguson, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; Senior Fellow, Center for European Studies, Harvard University
Sergei Guriev, Chief Economist, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice Chancellor, University of Glasgow
Roland Rudd, Founder and Chairman, Finsbury and Open Britain Moderated by Louisa Bojesen, Anchor, Street Signs, CNBC

GE is working to unleash the ultimate living experience through a suite of connected products designed to make your life simpler and help you do more. First on that journey is a contemporary LED table lamp that embeds Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS) directly inside, allowing you to use a light to order your dinner, listen to the latest headlines, preheat your oven or give a host of other voice commands.
The voice controlled light source with microphones and a speaker is the first announced use of AVS embedded within a lighting product, bringing the skills you’d find in a traditional Amazon Echo product without the need for a stand-alone Echo unit, hub or even a smart phone. Homeowners need only plug in the C by GE lamp and connect to Alexa to unleash a whole new world of tech functionality and smart device interoperability throughout the home.
• As part of its C by GE brand, GE creates entry point to the smart home through simple connection points that enable homeowners to do more and be better
• Connected roadmap starts with the industry’s first announced integration of Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS) built directly inside a lighting product
• A sleekly designed LED table lamp lets you easily complete hundreds of hands-free voice commands, no stand-alone Echo unit, hub or smart phone required
