It's that time of year again - I just booked my flights to London for CordaCon 2019 (23rd-24th October), and so should you!

For those who haven't been before, CordaCon is a two day event: there's DevDay and BizDay. Last year I enjoyed both, especially hearing about the practical business use cases people are solving with Corda.

This year's DevDay is shaping up to have a particular focus on secure enclaves/SGX, but there's going to be plenty of interesting content whatever your focus. Some talks that I'll be trying to attend include:

1. "Enabling the future of settlement" by Dave Ramsden from the Bank of England
   
2. Bitcoin on Corda, by Roger Willis. Rog and I have been talking about this topic for years so I'll be interested to see what he comes up with.
   
3. Managing private algorithms in SGX enclaves by Kubilay Ahmet Küçük, a research at the University of Oxford
4. "Transforming Healthcare Operations with Blockchain", as I don't know much about the healthcare market
   
5. Digital assets for device-to-device payments by Vodafone
6. Zero knowledge tx verification by Matthijs van den Bos of ING
7. Cordacity, a talk by Matt Layton of TradeIX on some of the API extensions he's been working on
