Lisa Wade, Chief Community Officer at Fableration and 2024 Female Fintech Leader of the Year, will lead four sessions at the Digital Economy Council of Australia’s flagship DECA Week from 16–18 June, championing the future of publishing through blockchain, AI, and community.
She’ll speak at the Australian Digital Economy Conference and SheConnects event at JW Marriott Gold Coast, calling on creators, tech talent, and readers to pre-register for Fableration’s global hackathon and become judges for the World’s Richest Short Story Competition.
“We’re not fixing publishing. We’re freeing it,” said Wade. “Fableration is blockchain as it was always meant to be—transparent, fair, and built for creators and readers alike.”
Across the three-day summit, Fableration will invite readers to reclaim their time and perspective by becoming judges in the World’s Richest Short Story Competition, which rewards both writers and the people who help discover them. Lisa will also be rallying developers, UX designers and engineers to join Fableration’s November Hackathon—designed to expand the ethical use of AI in discovering fresh writing talent and building a platform based on #blockchAIn4good.
