Blockchain doesn’t solve the world’s ESG challenges all by itself, but it’s an effective way to raise
charitable funds and create trust in the kinds of information – like carbon status and provenance –
that help industry become more sustainable and empowers stakeholders and consumers to make
decisions that align with their values. In the post-COVID world, where ESG is becoming critical for
business success, blockchain can provide the essential proof that shows companies are taking real and
meaningful action.

12Upcoming CBAW Event: Women in the New
Economy
Opportunities for Leadership in Crypto,
Blockchain and Digital Markets
With the meteoric rise in blockchain investment over the last year, few industries offer so much
growth potential and opportunities for advancement. For women, the key is understanding how their
unique talents and skills fit into this emerging technology sector – and the surprising ways that their
work experience can transfer to blockchain careers.
On June 10th, the Canadian Blockchain
Association for Women (CBAW) and ecosystem partner the Canadian Blockchain Consortium are
hosting a special free event that showcases the many paths that lead to the blockchain industry. The
virtual event features an inspiring keynote talk on blockchain leadership, along with a panel on
developing blockchain careers, a presentation that will demystify participation in the NFTs boom, and
breakout room discussions on overcoming challenges to inclusion in tech.
Event participants will vote on the biggest issue facing women in tech, including problems like
work/life balance, pay disparities and tech industry cultures. The conclusions from the breakout
room discussions will be developed into a published report. Thanks to the generosity of event
sponsors, CBAW is also providing $500 grants at the event to women who are in the process of
upgrading their technology and blockchain skillsets.
Sponsorships for the event are being offered at three levels and can be paid in CAD, Bitcoin and Ether.
80% of funds raised go directly to educational grants, with the rest supporting event and operational
costs.
• Platinum: $1500
• Gold: $850
• Silver: $500
CBAW Executive Director Alexis Pappas said that the event was inspired by board discussions about
their own experiences in the industry and the unexpected paths that led them to blockchain
technology. “Many of us at CBAW come from industries outside of technology, and never would have
predicted that we would build careers in blockchain”, she said. “With blockchain poised to be such a
big part of our economic future, we think its critical for women to understand these new
opportunities and that there are diverse ways to participate.”
A volunteer organization, CBAW relies
on ecosystem support to move its mission of building an inclusive blockchain industry forward. For
people and organizations who are interested in supporting Women in the New Economy, please visit
www.cbaw.io or contact Alexis at alexis@cbaw.io to find out more.
