With a strong sense of community, talent and economic support<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span>creating impact and seeing growth in the blockchain industry is inevitable.

She also identified a need for more consistent blockchain-related events in Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>To tackle the identified issues, TF Vancouver will educate, support and connect the growing blockchain community in the area. The chapter will also place emphasis on building a cohesive and engaged network of talented professionals in the blockchain industry and other related industries. These goals are summarized in the chapter\u2019s mantra of \u201ccollaborate, innovate, elevate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In working towards its goals, TF Vancouver can draw lessons from the Seattle blockchain community.

With just three hours between the two cities, collaborating while making innovations within the region\u2019s blockchain ecosystem becomes easier.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, Vancouver is a center for emerging technology in Canada with a history of innovation. The large industrial city is home to several successful startups and a top university. These factors made the city an ideal location for building a blockchain hub. TF Blockchain also announced that it has launched chapters in Austin Texas, Portland Oregon, and a formal chapter in Seattle Washington.<\/p>\n<p>In all, TF Vancouver is expected to provide a deeper level of understanding in advanced blockchain topics for interested people while connecting business and technology executives with blockchain innovators. The chapter is also charged with pooling resources in the Pacific Northwest together for growth in the region\u2019s blockchain industry.<\/p>\n<p>Come stop by the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/event\/tf-blockchain-3\/\">TF Blockchain 3<\/a> Conference in Seattle on Mar. 28th at the Columbia Tower Club.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: CryptoSlate is a media partner for TF Blockchain.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TF Blockchain is bringing its blockchain conferences across North America with new chapters in Vancouver (BC), Seattle (WA), Portland (OR), and Austin (TX).
