Miami NFT Week announces several speakers highlighting fast-growing crypto community in Latin America
Timbaland, Baron Davis, Yu-kai Chou, Swan Sit and Laura Rodriguez are among the featured speakers scheduled to appear at the 3-day conference sponsored by Mastercard.
MIAMI, March 21, 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Miami NFT Week – the largest NFT gathering to hit the Web3 hub that is South Florida – has announced dozens of new speakers to its lineup. Together and alongside the three-day event agenda, these speakers reinforce the rapid growth of crypto-native communities and Latin America. The collection returns to 305 to once again spearhead the innovation, creativity and imagination that forms at the intersection of crypto and culture. Miami NFT Week will offer top-of-the-line networking, panels and a variety of cultural discussions for the Latin American community.
This year, Miami NFT Week will feature speakers from around the world, including:
“Miami NFT Week 2022 was my first introduction to a scene for crypto and Web3,” said Laura Rodriguez, host and co-founder of The Miami Ape. “As a young woman I tried to understand the space and my place in it all. After my participation in the conference I knew my passion was this new emerging world and I started my company The Miami Ape shortly after. Without Miami NFT Week 2022 , I never would have taken the chance to speak on so many stages around the country and the world. A year later, I get to look back on my journey and stand in front of everyone at Miami NFT Week 2023, as a speaker , to share my story and hopefully inspire young women like me.”
Mastercard Senior Vice President Stefany Bello will join Laura and others on stage for a panel discussion titled “Latinos Vamos! The Power of Women LATAM Women!” with an important conversation around the power of LATAM women. In addition, Mastercard is sponsoring four panels focusing on LATAM and the growing LATAM crypto community. The four panels include: Aping into LATAM, Leveraging the Web3 Latin Network, Web3 Perspective and Startup Opportunities from LATAM, and ¡Vamos! The power of LATAM. Furthermore, Mastercard’s Vice President, Blockchain and Digital Assets Eduardo Abreu and its Director, Brand Management, Innovation and Digital Marketing, Latin America and the Caribbean Marcus Carmo will speak on the panels to add their insights around this ever-evolving society.
Miami NFT Week continues to reinforce its core messages through its focus on building opportunities for crypto newcomers and individuals still trying to find their calling in the crypto community, much like Laura was last year. These fundamental ideas will be infused throughout the conference via its main pillars of culture, metaverse, enterprise, Web3 and community.
“We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all crypto enthusiasts – natives, newcomers and curious individuals alike,” said Erik LaPaglia, Miami NFT Week Co-Founder. “Crypto and Web3 are evolving rapidly, and at Miami NFT Week we are eager to help the community evolve with it. The testimonials stemming from last year’s conference were overwhelming and it has always been our goal to be the most inclusive crypto event. In year, we are proud to continue with the same goal.”
In an effort to bring new innovators into the space, Miami NFT Week hosts a group from NFT Kids featured in NFTKidsMagazine, the first ever NFT publication for digital kids artists founded by 13-year-old NFT artist and photographer Gemeidon. The kids, ages 7-15, will have a booth at the conference to showcase their art, sign autographs and bring a new perspective to the room. To add to the fun, four of the kids — Christopher Lyons, Genesis Johnson, Brooklynn Bailey and Ariana Sabatino — will be speaking on panels over the weekend.
In addition to the various panel topics and networking opportunities, Miami NFT will also host a buildathon. This year’s competition, which is free to enter, will provide an interactive environment where participants will not only hear about industry-leading tools, artists and founders; they will be able to interact with and build with them. Prizes worth $25,000+ will be awarded to winning teams.
