Back at Consensus 2019 was where Coindesk enlisted NFT.Kred to recreate the NFT Swag for the event. Those which were redeemable for physical merch, time with a speaker, CryptoKitties, Ledger Nano hardware wallets, and even a chance to win real gold.
That was the first time a major conference organizer chose to distribute NFT Swag on the blockchain, saving tons of plastic bags and paper brochures.
Peter Bordes, CoinDesk’s Managing Director of Global Events, said “The Consensus NFTs [provided] attendees with both added value and a direct connection with their favorite sponsors and speakers.“
Following with NFT.NYC 2021 marked the introduction of Speaker Card NFTs — allowing attendees to collect NFTs forever commemorating their favorite talks and speakers at the event. Speakers were able to add their Speaker Card NFTs to Linkedin to verifiably authenticate their participation in NFT.NYC 2021 as a speaker.
But last year, NFT.NYC 2022 exploded onto Times Square with The Diversity of NFTs Art Showcase. Artworks from over 200 incredible artists were displayed on 14 major Times Square billboards and a large-scale immersive projection in the Marriott Marquis Atrium. NFTs of each artwork were minted for the community to collect.
What we expect for this year will probably be even better. What are some NFT projects you think will bring the community together? Let’s create and find out!
