Failure of Decentralisation and Immutability and the Potential Consequences of the Ethereum Hard Fork on It's Ecosystem
Introduction: 

This talk will be about why complete Decentralisation and Immutability matter for public blockchains, and why it is impossible to have one without the other. This will be used as the basis to discuss the consequences of the recent Ethereum Hard Fork, and what it could mean for the viability and integrity of the platform and its dapp developers.
