Established in 2023, The International Congress of Blockchain Legal Advisors is working to develop thoughtful attorneys and legal advisors to blockchain technology companies around the globe.

Membership in the Society of Fellows is available through the ICBLA website and is open to all.

“Fellows” are chosen based on their exceptional contributions to the field of blockchain law and compliance, including their research, publications, and professional achievements. They are drawn from a diverse range of legal and compliance specialties, including corporate law, intellectual property law, securities law, technology law, and regulatory compliance.  Applications for Fellow positions are available on the ICBLA website.

Each year, a select few “Fellows” are chosen to become “Senior Fellows.” Senior Fellows lead the Society’s activities throughout the year and preside over the annual Congress.

The Society of Fellows provides a platform for its members to collaborate on research, exchange ideas and knowledge, and engage in dialogue on critical issues facing the blockchain industry.

Members and fellows also participate in ICBLA’s various programs and initiatives, including research projects, conferences, and symposia. 

The highlight of the year is the Society of Fellows Annual Congress.  The Society conducts official business during the Congress, but there are lots of opportunities for fun and networking as well.  The Congress offers a chance for members and Fellows to accomplish the kind of brainstorming and development that only comes with in person sessions.  The Congress produces resolutions, press releases, action items, publishing opportunities, and more.
