This event is sponsored by Finessed Media, Inc. and hosted by Bea Dimaculangan and Kitkat Fisher.
With blockchain technology rapidly developing, NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are currently one of the most exciting opportunities for creators. They’re revolutionizing the music industry by putting power back into the hands of artists and presenting new financial and creative possibilities.
Our speakers are leaders at the intersection of music and tech: Andrew Schiffman, Chimere Cissé, Julia Pavlovska, and Juliana Moraes Liu. They are part of platforms like Rally, Songclip, and Throne, which are advancing innovative ways for artists to engage and monetize their communities.
We’ll be discussing how NFTs work, their impact on the future of the music industry, and how music artists and entrepreneurs can capitalize on their potential.
