The EB Awards gala is a night to honor the foremost innovators, advocates, and researchers driving blockchain transformation in enterprise.?The 2021 EB Awards will highlight the work of 31 finalists and announce?10 award winners.?
It’s hard to believe that this is our third time hosting the EB Awards. It feels like only yesterday we were sitting together at the?Steamwhistle?Brewery in Toronto, where we held our first EB Awards gala. I’m looking forward to bringing everyone together in-person at next year’s EB Awards. In the meantime, we have an incredible virtual ceremony in store for you next Tuesday. Thanks to our production partners ARHT?Media and Dorier Group, the 2021 EB?Awards?will feature extraordinary hologram technology on a virtual stage.??
I am pleased to announce that Angie Lau, Co-founder and CEO of?Forkast.News?will be hosting the 2021 EB Awards on November 16. A world-leading communicator, educator, and connector, Ms. Lau is an award-winning global journalist, business thought leader and woman in tech. She is a leading voice in this era of digital disruption and?innovation?and we very much look forward to having her host the ceremony this year!? The ceremony will also feature co-presenters Alex Tapscott, Co-founder of the Blockchain Research Institute and Managing Director, Digital Asset Group at Ninepoint Partners LLP, and Alisa Acosta, Director of Education at the Blockchain Research Institute.
This year that has been like no other. and the EB Awards will reflect that. It has been a year of crisis and disruption. The weaknesses of our healthcare systems, our supply chains, and our economies have been exposed and laid bare by the ongoing pandemic. It has been a year of tremendous struggle, but it has also been a year of opportunity and innovation.???
Some of the leaps and innovations we made this year were astounding. MRNA technologies that can be used to fight all kinds of diseases. Digital identity solutions for vaccine passports and safe travel. The world of Decentralized Finance has exploded giving way to powerful new financial products that are available to anyone.???
Non-Fungible Tokens have taken over the worlds of collectibles, assets and gaming, giving artists unprecedented control over their creations. In the digital currency space, we now find banks around the world seriously considering central bank digital currencies. Some are already well on their way.???
We?aren’t?in the?clear yet, but?I think?we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. More importantly, we can see the advances our societies have made this year, and that is something we should all be proud of. The 2021 EB Awards will highlight some of these exceptional innovations: innovations achieved in a time of unprecedented adversity.??
The format for the awards will look something like this: our hostess and presenters will be beamed onto a virtual stage (courtesy of ARHT Media) and will go through the award categories one-by-one. For each award category, the finalists will be announced with a short video highlighting their tremendous work. Finally, we will announce the winner of the award and provide them with an opportunity to say some words to you and our viewers. We will do this until every award has been announced, with additional videos and content sprinkled in between (courtesy of Dorier Group). It's going to be a wonderful night!
