A highly anticipated NFT event being held in May announced additional NFT artists, athletes and company executives who will appear at the inaugural event.
What Happened: A second round of speakers and entertainers for VeeCon 2022 was announced Friday, Jan. 28. This is the follow-up to a December announcement of initial conference participants. The line-up includes a talented roster of NFT influencers, founders of projects and investors, as well as actors and actresses, comedians, musicians and former sports stars.
The inaugural NFT conference will be at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 19 to 22, 2022.
The event is the first NFT-ticketed conference, a first-of-its-kind, multi-day event exclusive to 10,255 VeeFriends holders. VeeFriends is an NFT collection created by Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee).
The event is scheduled to be held for three straight years — 2022, 2023 and 2024 — for all VeeFriends holders.
VeeCon is called “a real-life demonstration of NFT smart contract technology in action” for NFT enthusiasts. Those in attendance will get to hear from speakers, participate in panels and enjoy musical entertainment.
“We are getting closer to throwing the conference I always dreamt of. I am here to leverage my career and my relationships to bring the world’s greatest speakers and influencers to this conference and the VeeFriends community next May,” Vaynerchuk said.
