Tags: Nft, NYC, Nonfungible Tokens, Conference, Blockchain

NFT.NYC is a community event and the response we’ve received from the NFT community this year has exceeded our expectations.

Growing from a one day event with one stage to a two day event with two stages each day, NFT.NYC is now a three day event.

We are deeply committed to putting every quality speaker on stage. As a community event we strive to showcase the great diversity of perspectives and ideas.

This year NFT.NYC has received almost 1,000 high quality speaker applications.

Today we are announcing 154 approved Speakers to join the 388 previously approved speakers.

Spotlights

Read on to learn about some of our newly approved speakers:

Avery Akkineni — President, VaynerNFT

Avery Akkineni was recently named by readwrite as the #9 most influential person in the metaverse. Currently leading VaynerNFT, a venture created to help the world’s leading intellectual property owners navigate the wild and wonderful world of NFTs.

NFTs are at the top of every marketer’s mind, but very few celebrities or brands have successfully cracked the code on how to develop meaningful NFT communities. Avery will discuss how current IP owners can successfully harness the power of NFTs to deliver value for their communities.

Meltem Demirors — Chief Strategy Officer of CoinShares

Meltem Demirors is Chief Strategy Officer of CoinShares, a publicly listed ($CS.ST) digital asset investment firm that manages $5B in assets, and is a trusted partner to investors and entrepreneurs navigating the digital asset ecosystem.

While NFTs have captured the imagination of the creative community, one of the most fundamental shifts under way is the financialization and disintermediation of new types of distributed compute and connectivity markets. Meltem will discuss how just as physical commodities fueled the last century of financial markets, the next century of financial markets will be defined by digital commodities.

Arif Khan — CEO and Co-Founder Alethea AI

Arif Khan is the CEO and co-founder of Alethea AI, a decentralized protocol to create intelligent and interactive NFTs powered by Open AI’s GPT-3 engine. Alethea AI is creating a new NFT standard, termed the Intelligent NFT (iNFT) by embedding AI animation, interaction, and voice synthesis capabilities into NFTs. As creators of the First ever iNFT, Alethea partnered with the leading auction house Sotheby’s and the artist Robert Alice, to create and auction the first interactive and intelligent virtual character, Alice.

Arif will discuss how NFTs will eventually become intelligent NFTs (iNFTs), embedded with interactive, intelligently generative capabilities and capable of sense-making and possibly human-level intelligence in the coming decades.
