Organised by ONX-Blockchain and Woorton, the 3rd edition of the Paris Blockchain Week Summit (PBWS) will take place from April 12-14, 2022 at Station F, the famous startup campus based in Paris. An international conference dedicated to blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, PBWS will host renowned speakers from the ecosystem, who will share their views on the market and its prospects. An overview of the event’s programme.
April 12, Paris NFT Day
This year, PBWS organizers ONX-Blockchain and Woorton will dedicate an entire day to the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The Paris NFT Day will take place on April 12 and will feature more than 70 specialised speakers, such as Julien Bouteloup (BlackPool Finance), Sébastien Borget (The Sandbox) or Rayan Boutaleb (Cyber).
Particularly oriented towards the community, this day entirely dedicated to NFTs will address many topics. In particular, it will be an opportunity to review the current state of the NFT ecosystem. In a few years, this world has evolved very quickly and is now one of the pillars of the cryptocurrency universe.
The pioneers of this ecosystem will explore the possibilities offered by metaverses and those behind some of the most famous collectible projects will discuss the reasons for their success.
Another theme that will be discussed is the recent arrival of some of the world’s biggest companies in the NFT world. These include Adidas, Nike and Visa. How do these companies plan to bring value to the NFT space while gaining an advantage over their competitors in terms of new products and marketing? One thing is for sure, non-fungible tokens are having a huge impact on many sectors, be it the music industry, the video game industry, the movie industry and even the luxury goods industry.
Finally, experts from the world of NFTs will educate participants on the best practices to adopt to protect themselves from scams and risks inherent to non-fungible tokens. It will also be an opportunity for them to share their vision of NFTs and the most promising use cases.
