This year’s edition of Web32, a web3 conference in Antwerp, Belgium, took place on 9 June. The big one-day event brought together a community of builders, designers, creators and more. There was a lot going on, so let’s look at some of the highlights from Belgium’s big web3 event.

Overall, the goal of Web32 was to help web3 professionals discover the potential of the blockchain. As such, the event included a technology exhibition, as well as a number of great lectures and pitches from web3 projects. And of course, there was a great networking opportunity for the web3 community in Belgium and beyond.
One of the biggest names on Web32 is none other than the legendary Flemish cartoonist, Jeroom Snelders. The conference highlighted an ongoing auction for 40 works of art by Snelders, including some of his best works for the Belgian weekly Humo and Reddit. To clarify, the auction was from May 31 to June 12. In addition to a physical print, buyers will also receive an NFT of the cartoon in a Venly wallet.
Snelders launched the auction with the help of Belgium-based blockchain technology provider and Web32 sponsor Venly, and the online auction market, Catawiki.
Web32 also saw a special collaboration between the artists Musketon and Dirty Belgium. There, the two artists created a handmade work of art live at the event! Furthermore, the artwork was digitized and marked as an NFT after the conference. Amazingly, every visitor got NFT in their wallet.
For those who do not know, Mutani is a digital fashion unit based in Belgium. Shayli Harrison from Mutani joined Evelyn Mora from Digital Village on stage for a talk on “Web3 fashion, creativity and sustainability”.
What is a good web3 conference these days without an NFT machine? Web32 provided this with some exciting NFTs that participants could “physically” collect. These fantastic collectibles contained the work of the Belgian artist Brecht Vandenbroucke.
Overall, it is fair to say that Web32 was a great success! It’s great to see IRL events expanding all over the world, bringing the web3 community together and laying the foundation for the future of space.
