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.

An event focused on the intersection of gaming coding, music and investment. Hosted by HER DAO, a diverse developer DAO focused on supporting women to become builders in the space. Official sponsors are: Polygon, Near, ALGORAND, KOINOS, XMTP & Accumulate with a prize pool of over $20,000, this hackathon is free and open to all. Attendees will learn how to create music for games, explore the use of blockchain in gaming, and even build their own ledger from scratch.
Not building a game? Whether your solution incorporates messaging, music, payments, digital identity or zero knowledge — all solutions at the intersection of gaming are welcome e.g. the Music NFT track — artists with tracks or compositions that can be used in gaming; VC founders pitching session with high profile VCs; etc.

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.
