Yahoo Finance will lead discussion to the audience with CEO's, Engineers, Policy Makers and legal Experts from topics of Bitcoin blockchain and ICO's. Interestingly enough based on the agenda / speakers of the event, a majority of the discussions will take place around Bitcoin (how to invest, regulations and crypto policy), however contained within the agenda is a spot dedicated for Ripple, titled "Beyond Bitcoin: Ripple and $XRP". CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse will speak at this event regarding Ripple and its future, this is major news which will bring much excitement and attention towards Ripple.

Brad will speak in front of major CEO's and companies, allowing for further exposure and interest to Ripple. Adam White Vice president and General Manager for Coinbase will be at the event which will be interesting to see Adam and Brad together, this may spark further speculation around Coinbase and Ripple partnering together providing a major platform for Ripple to be distributed on, previously the two have grabbed the attention of investors, hinting towards a partnership which caused major interest amongst investors, and Reddit users.

The summit none the less will draw major attention between Bitcoin and Ripple, the turn out of this event will be interesting with major exposure for Ripple to major companies, definitely keep and eye out for this event.
