With more than 4,500 attendees, a sold-out ICO pitch stage, over 120 Speakers, 70 Exhibitors & 40 Pitching Companies, Crypto Invest Summit make is the not-to-be-missed event.

Crypto Invest Summit co-founders Alon Goren and Josef Holm discuss why next week’s conference and expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center is stacked to be the largest and best place to meet and learn from the movers and shakers in fintech.

Josef Holm: Let’s start with our all-star lineup of speakers that we individually called to participate. We will have the Who’s Who of the industry, including sports legends, an Academy award-winning producer, billionaire investors, all the major media, not to mention a sold out ICO pitch stage and the largest expo floor, featuring the hottest startups!

We are expecting more than 4,500 attendees, over 120 global crypto and blockchain industry leaders, 70 exhibitors, and 40 pitching companies (and a few more surprises that will be announced soon)!

Attendees will have two major opportunities to network—at our pre-party on April 30th at the LA Live Grammy Museum and then again on May 1st on the expo floor.

We’re excited to have over 40 ICOs from around the world pitch to willing and ready investors!

Also, we are thrilled to have the Founder of Digital LA, Kevin Winston as well as Crystal Rose, CEO of Sensay and founder of LA Tech Week join us.

We will have all the leading fintech and blockchain media participating, including CoinTelegraph, HuffPost, The Merkle, Blockchain Radio, Bitcoin.com, Crowdfund Insider, and ICOinvestor.TV, just to name a few. CNBC “Crypto Trader” host Ran Neu-Ner will broadcast live on the main stage.

Alon Goren: Attendees will be able to hear our speakers in presentations, fireside chats and panel discussion formats that will break up the monotony of listening to one speaker after another, which is what you tend to find at the usual conferences.

We have some insightful fireside chats, including one with Olga Feldmeier (Smart Valor), Vinny Lingham (Civic, Shark Tank) and Bill Barhydt (Abra) on “How Blockchain Technology Will Transform Society.”  

From the world of sports, we will have chats with Apolo Ohno, eight-time Olympic Medalist and co-founder of HybridBlock and Jesse Tevelow, managing partner, BlockTeam Ventures.

Dirk Meyer (Egretia) will lead a panel discussion on “Tokens and Blockchain in Gaming” with leaders from Game Protocol, RobotCache, Call of Duty, and WAX.

A panel on Disruptive Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Innovations panel will feature Randall Crowder (Phunware), Wilson Wei (Lino Network), David Bleznak (Totle), David Moss (EOS), and Alex Wearn Aurora (IDEX).

To address why there aren’t more women in blockchain, we will have a panel featuring women who are leading the path, including Sarah Clayton, Ph.D. Fellow; Veronica Reynolds, Blockchain Research; Tavonia Evans, $Guap Coin; Koh Kim, Crypto Advisor; Sara Borazan, North Capital, and Jenny Ta, VCNetwork.co.

And, because blockchain and cryptocurrency is not all about making money, we will discuss social implications and uses with Graham Goddard, All Public Art; Ryan Scott, ICO Impact Group; Mark Jeffrey, Guardian Circle; Mac McGary, Sweetbridge; Louis O Connor, Agrorismo and Devin Thorpe, Forbes contributor and author.

Finally, we want to thank our title sponsor, Hedera Hashgraph, as well as our other gold, silver and bronze sponsors.
