Why It’s Important: Now celebrating its fourth year, NFT.NYC is one of the largest annual events for the industry bringing together brands, entrepreneurs, investors, collectors, artists and founders of projects.
Radio City Music Hall, which is owned by Madison Square Garden Entertainment (NYSE:MSGE), is one of the most well-known entertainment venues and seats over 5,000 people for events.
The event, which was called the Super Bowl of NFTs by Coinbase, continues to grow. NFT NYC reported that over 3,500 people (from 60 countries) have already registered for the event compared to only 10% of tickets sold in the same period last year.
NFT NYC 2021 sold out with 5,600 people attending and over 3,000 on the waitlist.
Tickets can be bought on the NFT.NYC website with a credit card or by using Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) or Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH). Ticket prices will increase in price on May 8, 2022.
NFT.NYC operates with the three following values:
- Give the Community a Voice – put as many speakers on stage as possible
- Connection – bring people together
- Proselytize – educate the community on the value of NFTs
