An upcoming NFT conference that will be held in 2022 for select owners of a popular NFT collection announced its first list of speakers and dates recently.
What Happened: The inaugural VeeCon 2022 will be held at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota May 19-22, 2022.
The event will be held for all owners of VeeFriends NFTs. This will be the first NFT-ticketed conference in the world. The event is set to be held for three straight years of 2022, 2023 and 2024 for all VeeFriends holders.
The floor price on VeeFriends is 9.8 Ethereum ETH/USD at the time of writing, or around $39,000.
The event is called “a real-life demonstration of NFT smart contract technology in action” and an “un-conference” for NFT enthusiasts.
Those attending the conference will get to hear from speakers, participate in panels and get musical entertainment. VeeFriends creator and CEO Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee) announced the first round of speakers for the event.
“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 & the VeeFriends community next May,” Vaynerchuk said.
Additional speakers and artists are expected to be announced in the future.
