businesses.

experience for customers and merchants and we are excited to
explore how blockchain may be able to contribute to our mission,”
said Bill Dulin, vice president of Global Business Development for
Discover. “We look forward to co-hosting the code-a-thon and
working with the Chamber and its members on the policy issues
impacting the commercial payments and blockchain sectors.”

Technology code-a-thon with Discover, a leader in direct banking
and payments,” said Perianne Boring, founder and president of the
