(Los Angeles, CA) April 23 - The Los Angeles Convention Center will welcome the largest U.S. gathering of blockchain and cryptocurrency investors, entrepreneurs and technology companies April 30th-May 2nd at the Crypto Invest Summit.

More than 4,500 attendees have already registered to attend this inaugural two and a half-day event that will feature 100 speakers, a sold-out ICO pitch stage and the largest expo space featuring the hottest blockchain and crypto currency companies.

An unparalleled group of innovators and changemakers will share their stories about how they are leveraging blockchain in entertainment and arts, real estate, gaming, agriculture and more.

Interest in blockchain, bitcoin and cryptocurrency are at an all-time high, with everyone from major companies like Summit Gold Sponsor American Airlines, to Summit speaker and Olympic Medalist, Apolo Ohno getting into the game, but many questions still exist about the technology, possible regulation and the use for the average person.

“In five years from now, we'll only be using cryptocurrencies to pay,” said Summit speaker and venture capitalist @TimDraper recently on CNBC. “We haven’t even found the tip of the iceberg,” he adds.

The Summit will feature two stages with presentations, pitches, educational panels, and fireside chats with the Who’s Who of the industry. Speakers include entrepreneur Vinny Lingham, who made news in 2016 when he invested in a company on Shark Tank using bitcoin, Baron Davis, investor and NBA All-Star player, and Matt Sorum, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer and Co-founder at Artbit, a distributed-ledger platform for artists and fans.

CNBC “Crypto Trader” host Ran Neu-Ner will broadcast live on-stage and feature special guests, to be announced.

Over 30 selected ICOs will get to meet and pitch their offerings to potential investors, actively looking for opportunities. Attendees will be able to network at the Summit kickoff party on day one as well as at the expo floor party on day two, where they can interact with more than 70 exhibitors.
