In this 60-minute workshop, I will help attendees learn what an NFT is, why they are being talked about today, what can you do with them, and how can you keep them - and your valuable assets - safe online. At the end of the session, everyone will be instructed on how to create a wallet and then receive a free NFT.

Fortress, Everyware, Token Events, and Maple are three companies leveraging Web3 to rewrite the rules for every aspect of our connective economy — digital assets, payments, events & ticketing, even travel and dating apps. And these companies aren't just partners, they're neighbors under the roof of Capital Factory — making them a perfect example of how much further innovation can go when you find other tech startups who share your values and go together. Join this moderated (and unfiltered) panel about how Web3 enables companies to move beyond systematic constraints.
