Outstanding speaker. So many speakers read their prepared materials which they could just as well have passed out to the attendees. To me, this gives me the belief that the speaker truly knows his topic. His topic is very complex, and I cannot say that I now fully understand what cryptocurrency is, but I do have a feel for how it is being employed. I also have the understanding that it is here for the foreseeable future and that there is much to be learned in how it will play in the future of financial transactions.

I thought this speaker was extremely knowledgeable and his presentation style kept me highly interested in cryptocurrency even though I didn’t fully understand parts. Bravo for a great presentation!

Pierson was a great speaker and is truly an expert in his field. I think most of us probably left with more questions than answers. He would be a great repeat speaker again next season as so much is changing daily with crypto and cyber security.

This talk was an excellent primer on the subject and served to affirm my decision to stay out of it.

Kudos to Ken Bouldin and Becky Kurtz of his programs team for bringing us an eye-opening perspective on the energy, economic and geopolitical implications of the cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies that, like it or not, promise to be a part of our future.

HE WAS A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN. HOWEVER, I KNOW NO MORE ABOUT COIN THAN I HAD BEFORE. IT'S BEYOND MY ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND. IT STILL WAS A LOVELY EVENING

Pierson Clair is an excellent speaker. He imparted his knowledge of the many aspects of cryptocurrency in a manner that was articulate and entertaining. I came away feeling I know much more about the "coin" now than before. Would like to hear from him again.

Dinner and service was very good.
