In statements, Chamber of Digital Commerce president Perianne Boring positioned the event as one that represented a coordinated effort to better educate and advocate for the emerging technology. According to the organization, a range of topics were discussed at the event, from blockchain applications to how the industry should engage with law enforcement.
Confirmed attendees included Representatives Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) and David Schweikert (R-AZ), both of whom have made public appearances detailing their support for the industry.
"Blockchain technology has been and I believe will continue to be a positive market disrupter... I look forward to monitoring and supporting the continued development of this technology and industry," Mulvaney said in statements.
The roundtable is part of a series of similar events planned by the Chamber of Digital Commerce, founded in 2014 with the goal of advancing policy on digital currencies and blockchain technology.
