Abstract

As the COVID-19 spread all over the world, there are restrictions on travel not only between the
countries but within the country as well. This resulted in pospontment of many educational events. However,
as the pandemic demanded various restrictions, organizers decided to conduct these events using online
mode. Many of these events provide participation certificates, but the validity of these certificates,
organizing institutes and participants cannot be verified easily. Similarly, there are issues of simultaneously
attending the events. In future, online events are expected to become the new normal. All of these challenges
have been discussed in details. Further to overcome these challenges we attempt to propose a blockchain
based framework that can, not only solve these challenges but also help to increase the privacy of the
participants providing a single portal solution to retrieve the event details and certificates.
