ABBEY: We were studying blockchain technology for a while now and we’re also building a community here in Singapore. Then we came to know Institute of Blockchain Singapore founded by Alvin Chua. The institute aims spread awareness of blockchain and its uses by educating the public.
With that advocacy, we helped by volunteering on the time of its launch last July 29 at The Bridge (Science Park). It is a Sunday but the attendance reached a hundred.
Attendees came from a variety of industries like marketing, finance, healthcare, legal, as well as academia.
NEM Blockchain gave a thorough talk regarding their platform and included a demo. It even rewarded some guests with XEMs.

WILL: I was challenged by the NEM Southeast Asia Project Director and of course, I gladly accepted it.
I am not a tech person, unlike Abbey, that is why I am very fond of using the NEM Nano Wallet. It is like the "Apple" of blockchain industry. All I need to do is type and click and I can easily communicate with the NEM blockchain. On my IBS talk, I shared my enthusiasm to the attendees. They were surprised that it is how easy to do a coin or "mine" (harvest) at NEM. Because it is a timed talk, I think I explained too fast! But when I asked for a participant to create his own coin, he'd done it as if it is not his first time to see the NEM mosaics. I do hope, many attendees learn and feel my love and happiness while sharing the beauty of NEM Platform.
Thanks Institute of Blockchain Singapore in inviting the NEM Singapore team on your official launch. We wish you more power and more students to be a developer/coder. We all know that we needed a lot of them.
