Accord Project Forum - Blockchain and Legal Automation Conference

On June 6th, 2019 in London we will kick-off the inaugural Accord Project (AP) conference, with an amazing line-up of speakers from IBM, R3, DocuSign, ISDA, Clyde & Co, Mishcon de Reya and others.

Book tickets at: http://accordprojectforum.com

In this post I highlight the technical content we will be covering, and encourage developers, software architects, business analysts and CTOs to attend. If you are building blockchain-based solutions, working with legal technology, or contract automation, this is a conference you will not want to miss. And at just $150 per ticket it won't break the bank!

Accord Project Overview

My presentation will highlight the technical projects we have been working on for the past 18 months and the lessons learned. If you are a developer you will learn how to embed AP technology into your own SaaS or blockchain-based solutions. The presentation will include plenty of demos and showcase some of the solutions using AP technology today.

• Cicero: the template technology that binds natural language to computable code
• Ergo: a domain-specific language to capture the logic of a legal contract
• Cicero-UI: a set of React web UI components to edit clauses, templates
• Template Studio: a web-based playground for experimenting with AP technology
• Concerto modelling language
• AP Model repository
• AP Template library

Showcase by DocuSign

Heather Petersen from DocuSign will show how you can integrate AP templates with DocuSign - using the eSignature of a DocuSign envelope to automate downstream processing.

Showcase by IBM

Jerry Cuomo, IBM Fellow, will update the community on the latest advances in IBM Blockchain Platform and the groundbreaking work they've been doing within industry consortia. AP works closely with both the Hyperledger Fabric community and the IBM Blockchain Platform team to enable AP templates to be executed as chaincode.

Showcase by ISDA

Ciaran McGonagle and Ian Sloyan from ISDA will present the Common Domain Model. At AP we've been tracking the Common Domain Model from ISDA very closely - and have even converted aspects of the model to Concerto and created AP templates based on ISDA concepts.

Showcase by Clyde & Co

Lee Bacon from Clyde & Co will present a recent a parametric insurance contract, built using AP technology. Learn first-hand how technologists and lawyers can build new products using AP technology.

Showcase by R3

Jason Rozovsky from R3 and Jerome Simeon will present an AP Promissory Note contract running on Corda v4.0. Learn how you can deploy an AP template to a leading enterprise permissioned blockchain today!

An amazing lineup of speakers and technical content! We've tried to provide lots of practical "What can I do now?" material, for both blockchain and SaaS deployments, and infused most of the presentations with demos to showcase the great progress we've made.

I look forward to seeing you in London!
