With so much energy invested by the ecosystem cultivating the advancement of digital experiences, products, and services it is a blessing to come together to celebrate milestones — and set new ones. 

The most creative, passionate, people on the planet are congregating around rapidly evolving technology at the frontier of human innovation to craft novel solutions to real world problems. As importantly, to creatively express ideas in previously unimagined ways that unlock new forms of communication, connection, and collaboration. 

It’s my first time visiting the big apple, & I could not be more excited to immerse myself in a week-long series of events and activities designed to showcase the latest and greatest in the world of blockchain, NFTs, Web3 and the new internet. Here’s what’s popping across NFT NYC 2023.

Metablaze One Day Immersive Experience


A special thanks to the Songcamp DAO which passed a special snapshot vote to subsidise travel to NFT NYC for its members. Without this many of us would not be attending. Many/most of these events above are also free to attend which massively heightens accessibility with encouragement to engage by bringing our most curious and outlandish perspectives, deep experience, and diverse backgrounds to bear pushing the space forwards. 

This speaks to the communal ethos at the heart of web3, symbolised in crazy energetic discords; the discussions and debates on twitter spaces; the support and encouragement of telegram groups, coming together to GM collectively whilst simultaneously co-create, learn and experiment.
