Keep Your Data Safe: How to Incorporate Blockchain Into Your Business
Today’s data-based infrastructure is built around data stores that were designed to accommodate large volumes of ever-changing data. They excel at this, but that is also their shortcoming – it is difficult to know exactly what has changed over time, be it intentionally, accidentally or maliciously.
By leveraging blockchain’s capability to create an immutable history of data, our customers get a secure, private, tamper-proof, mathematically verifiable record of the content of their data at a point in time.
ULedger is based on the idea that every person, company, and entity should have their own private, immutable and secure digital ledger. Our Blockchain technology offers a mathematically provable solution for certifying the authenticity, reliability, integrity, and usability of documents and transactions in a secure and private manner.

Panel with Women Leading Successful Start-up Companies and What They've Learned
A 24-year veteran of the floral industry with expertise in sourcing fresh-cut flowers, Liza Roeser Atwood has successfully learned to navigate the risks and rewards of owning a global business. After graduating from Texas A&M, Liza entered the Peace Corps and worked with entrepreneurs in Ecuador, focusing much of her energy on small business development. With very little desire to return to the states, she worked with Colombian and Ecuadorian Flower Growers to build their businesses before taking on the challenge of building her own. Since that time, she has successfully guided the operations for FiftyFlowers.com and Farm Fresh Exports in their growth as a large-scale, international provider of fresh floral products. In 2003, she was recognized as one of Ecuador's most successful female entrepreneurs by Cosas Magazine, and is a current member of the SAF Wholesalers Council and Consumer Joint Council.
Today, FiftyFlowers.com is headquartered in Boise, Idaho - where Liza resides with her husband and business partner, Blu, and their two beautiful daughters. Together, they work diligently to continue building their companies into a multimillion-dollar global enterprise, providing over fifty jobs to great people in the United States, Ecuador, and beyond. Join her as she discusses her journey and the importance of maintaining focus and networking effectively.

Michelle Crosby, CEO and Founder, Wevorce
Panel with Women Leading Successful Start-up Companies and What They've Learned
Michelle Crosby is the founder and CEO of Wevorce®, a company daring to Change Divorce for Good®. A background as a practicing attorney and experienced mediator helped to redefine Michelle’s dream, but it was life’s experience as a child of divorce that has been the catalyst behind her desire to help families. An idea scribbled onto a cocktail napkin resulted in acceptance to the prestigious Y Combinator where Wevorce was officially born — a proven methodology blended with technology creating a high-tech, high-touch approach to divorce. In the end, it’s not about a piece of paper declaring a marriage is over, it’s about ending a relationship with grace on a strong foundation of hope for everyone to begin again.
