The Litecoin Summit, which set to occur on September 14 and 15, will not only bring together developers of both Litecoin and other blockchain networks but will also function as a networking event for businesses and merchants that are interested in integrating LTC as a payment method.
The summit will also feature a range of prominent speakers drawn from the finance and tax industry, professional journalists, and a range of exhibitors.
