SUMMARY:How will blockchain impact the world?
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Language: Farsi \nLecturer: Golnaz Safa \nMs. Golnaz Safa\, is a Financial analyst\, a graduate of the University of York\, Financing\, and approved by the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) on encrypted currencies. The experience of a decade and practical work in various finance departments and FINTECH is here to present valuable content to the audience. \n  \nAbstract: \nPut simply\, blockchain is a new way of storing information. You can think of it as a shared virtual ledger owned by users (callednodes) on the blockchain network. Any change to that ledger – if someone transfers money or updates a legal contract\, for example – is cryptographically verified and then reflected across the entire network\, visible to everyone. \nBlockchain is the ultimate enemy of bureaucracy. With the use of smart contracts\, pieces of code that automate manual processes\, blockchain can remove middlemen from a lot of traditionally complex tasks\, like buying a house or sending money abroad. The result is a cheaper\, faster and more transparent technological framework for the most important industries in society.

SUMMARY:How to use Amazon to Empower Our Trade and Sales?
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Language: Farsi \nLecturer: Peyman Sheykhghasemi \nCivil engineer and first-grade professional engineer in design and execution\, but he is proud of his ALBORZ high school graduation more than engineering. \nCurrent job in Canada:\nTown-house and Semi-Detached houses in Ottawa\, working on 9 houses in his recent projects\nAmazon Seller: There is a possibility that I stop my construction business and invest only in Amazon business.\nFor a couple of years\, he was a supplier of intelligent traffic systems (ITS) in Iran for road ministry and municipalities\, also importer of printing and advertising machinery.\nHe started 3 online projects besides his sales representative position which one of them was Amazon in 2017. \nAbstract: \nA brief explanation of the Amazon business model: \nAmazon has provided a system that helps products/services providers to offer their products to buyers. Amazon helps them to deliver their products to buyers and collect money. Amazon owns almost 30 percent of the products and the rest belongs to the third party sellers. \nHow did I start my first successful project on Amazon? \nAll started because of my interest and attending expensive workshops in Toronto. \nWhat do we need to start a successful Amazon business? \nInterest and love in the nature of trade\, patient\, computer use\, operating abilities\, and problem-solving. \nHow much we need? \nI can say with less than a thousand dollars we can start this business and the interesting point is that the amount of money is not an important fact in this space. \nThe process for cheap or expensive of any kind of different products category is the same and the very interesting fact is: when you start this business correctly\, your only challenge would be the inventory because of the high amount of sales. This is the most important challenge that almost all new starters faced too. \nHow Amazon is different than traditional methods and its advantages? \n\nLow investment cost\n300 million buyers\nNo need to employee\, storage\, shipping and accounting services.\n24/7 warehousing\, customer services\, accounting\, and sales services.
