By integrating AI and Blockchain education, the event aims to equip Maryland’s workforce and residents with the tools needed to navigate an increasingly decentralized digital economy.
“Maryland is continuing to step onto the global stage as a leader in the digital revolution,” said Jacqueline Cooper, Co-Founder of the Maryland Blockchain Association. “At Maryland BlockchAIn Conference and Bootcamp, we are bridging the gap between localized education and the global investment landscape. This conference and bootcamp serve as a launchpad for all age students and professionals to lead in a decentralized world, providing them the tools to thrive in the future global workforce.”
Exhibiting and Scholarship Opportunities

Organizations specializing in DeFi, RegTech, AI-Blockchain hybrids, and workforce development are invited to showcase their solutions to a diverse audience of decision-makers and talent.
