2015 International Virtual Crypto Summit announced

Following the success of the 2014 Crypto Money Virtual Expo, a new international summit announced to bring together crypto enthusiasts, start-ups, and experts. Global attendance expected, and as General Media Partner CoinTelegraph is proud to offer discounted booth prices.
Aiming to bring together the whole world of crypto enthusiasts, as well as those involved as experts, investors, and developers, the global reach of the events looks set to attract a much larger audience than has been possible in the past. Running on the 26th and 27th of February, the 2015 International Virtual Crypto Summit is bringing the well established idea of the conference into to a medium more suited to the cutting edge international world of crypto. Attendees will find themselves represented by an avatar on a mass multiplayer online role playing game platform, in which they can direct their character to interact with, attend, and take a look at, the summit’s many features.
One problem facing an international phenomenon like crypto-currency is how can you get the huge number of actors involved in the scene around the world together in one place. Previous conferences such as the North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami were hit by controversy when key-speaker Roger Ver was unable to attend due to visa issues. Resorting to his stand-by ‘Double’, Ver was instead forced to rove the conference floor as a tele-prescence, a skill he has previously used on the streets of New York handing out Bitcoins to passers-by.
