International Conference on WEB3
Program
This conference aims to bring together individuals from academia, industry, and society who are interested in the technology and culture behind Tokens and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
We will explore the technologies needed to produce them as well as their societal impacts and effects. Tokens and NFTs have opened a wide range of new possibilities for digital content production, particularly in the large creative industries market. They have consolidated their place as an innovation and established themselves in the public imagination. It's time to analyse and discuss the real impacts of Tokens and NFTs, not just how society perceives them, but how they are changing the behaviour of creators, consumers, and artefacts.
The conference will feature a series of scientific and technological transfer tracks, along with workshops and demos organised through collaboration between industry partners.
