Bas

Montreal Digital Spring presents the ninth edition of Intersections, an events combining a conference, panel and “experience zone,” this time on the topic of blockchain technology. The event (which, it should be noted, will take place in French) aims to “question the potential and challenges related to the development of the blockchain in order to help businesses, citizens, decision-makers, and creators to better understand the transformations promised by this new technology.” 1920 Baile, 5 p.m., $40/$15 students

At Beaconsfield station, Terri Clark, Sierra Noble and Kelly Prescott will be giving performances. 104 Elm, 8 p.m., free
