Cryptocurrency events are taking place in person again, triggering much excitement. The upcoming NFT LA Conference features a list of prominent speakers, and it is good to see a strong female representation. There is much to look forward to when this IRL conference merges with metaverse integration and LA’s nightlife.
NFT LA Conference Preview
The NFT LA conference is designed to bring people to the City of Angels like never before. Combining a real-life conference attended by hundreds of people with immersive metaverse integrations and the renowned LA nightlife scene creates a very potent cocktail. Moreover, Los Angeles positions itself as a global conduit for Web3 adoption across multiple verticals, including sports, art, and entertainment.
The conference consists of three crucial aspects:
- NFTLA | IRL: The physical conference with high-level speakers, unforgettable performances, announcements, education, NFT galleries and auctions, and the typical LA vibe.
- NFTLA | Night: The conference is good to pass the day, but networking and establishing new connections happen at night. Experience the Los Angeles nightlife like never before.
- NFTLA | Meta: It is possible to experience NFTLA in the Metaverse for those who can’t attend in person. It will feature all speakers, nightlife DJs, and much more.
While the NFT LA conference spans many renowned speakers – Steve Aoki, Mark Cuban, Neil Strauss, etc – it is great to have influential females also participate. In fact, there are many female speakers to look forward to.
