Following the launch of its latest website, virtualcurrencytoday.com, Networld Media Group is set to deliver its first-ever Virtual Currency Today Summit on April 29, 2015 at Boston's Back Bay Hilton.

Networld's editorial team will collaborate to produce the conference that will explore:

When, why and how digital currency will go mainstream

Privacy, security, fraud and other potential concerns

How regulators will respond

Impacts on payment, retail and other affected industries

The practical mechanics of merchant acceptance

The company expects attendees across cash networks and exchanges, financial services, payment solutions, restaurants and retail industries. The Summit intends to represent innovators in virtual-currency solutions and services, customer-experience professionals, industry analysts and regulatory authorities.

Economic Strategist and Managing Director and Editor of the FentonReport: Globalization and Wealth Management News has been confirmed as a featured speaker.

"Virtual currency is the next disruptive force to hit payments, banking, financial markets, retail and so many other industries," observed Kathy Doyle, EVP and publisher of Networld Media Group in a release. "We've structured our Virtual Currency Today Summit to help executives facilitate fast, low-risk absorption and integration of virtual currency into their businesses."

"The Virtual Currency Today Summit advances our strategy of building an end-to-end payment-media division," said Networld's CEO, Tom Harper. "ATMmarketplace.com has covered the cash end of the payment spectrum since 1997. A few years ago, we added MobilePaymentsToday.com and more recently launched our ATM & Mobile Innovation Summit. When virtual currency burst onto the world's payment scene, we knew it was time for another addition to our media portfolio. The interplay among cash, mobile and virtual currency is evolving faster than anyone predicted. We are thrilled to be jumping into the chaotic world of virtual currency alongside so many other thinkers and innovators."
