NFT NYC is taking place on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at the PlayStation Theater in New York City's Times Square, and organizers say more than 50 speakers have accepted invitations to share their insights.
The event will enable attendees to "Meet and hear from some of the biggest names in the collectibles space" - including Cassidy Robertson from Axiom Zen, the company behind CryptoKitties.
NFTs can carry unique types of information that make them rare and, in some cases, unlike any other token that's out there in circulation.
Lumi Collect is a crypto wallet for NFTs, and the company has sought to both educate users on its potential while giving them a way to store all of their tokens in one place.
Setting out the opportunities that await the market, Lumi Collect's CEO, Diana Furman, told Cointelegraph: "Probably, there will be a new class of NFTs that allows for shared ownership and its original value would also be shared. A whole new industry for presenting digital art could emerge. What's the point in owning a piece of art or another collectible if you cannot display it in a proper way and enjoy what you've spent hard-earned money on? NFTs can put an end to the era of digital piracy as they can act as licenses and regulators. Maybe, our digital personalities will be presented on the web as NFT.".
"Leading names and brands in blockchain"At the PlayStation Theater, NFT NYC is planning to bring together key players in this burgeoning industry - including financial influencers who believe that non-fungible tokens have the potential to "Drive the next wave of blockchain value." Developers who built the infrastructure for NFT projects will also be in attendance, as well as social influencers who have expertise on driving engagement with communities.
One of the sectors that has enjoyed some success with non-fungible tokens already is the collectibles industry.
NFTs can be used to represent real-world items, such as pieces of art, but pioneering startups like CryptoKitties have also created a new class of digital kittens that can be bought, sold and collected through a decentralized marketplace.
To generate buzz about its event, NFT NYC is giving participants a chance to design their very own coin - and the most liked will win.
Tickets are now being sold for the event, with general admission available for $299 and a VIP pass - complete with an exclusive dinner and airtime on a billboard in Times Square - costing $499. Tickets can also be purchased in NFT form.
