NFT NYC is back, and if last year was any indication, it’s not just a conference, it’s a full-on cultural moment. From Times Square takeovers to private investor mixers, the week isn’t just about NFTs anymore. It’s about the future of Web3, AI, culture, and community.

1. NFT Run + Connect

2. Investors & Founders Night
Manhattan | June 24, 4:00–8:00 PM
For those serious about deal flow and Web3 innovation, this curated mixer hosted by Next Block brings together 80–100 VCs, angels, hedge funds, and founders. The night includes a panel on tokenization strategies, a fireside on AI’s role in Web3, startup showcases, and plenty of space for high-value networking. If you’re looking to raise, invest, or partner, this is where you want to be.
3. VIP & Speaker Reception
Marriott Marquis, Level 9 Terrace | June 24, 7:00–10:00 PM
NFT.NYC’s official kickoff for VIPs and speakers is the place to meet the minds moving the industry forward. Entry requires a VIP or Speaker badge, but if you make the cut, you’ll find yourself in conversations that often spark the biggest moves of the week.
4. Times Square Billboard Kickoff
Times Square | June 24, 9:00–9:30 PM
There’s no better visual symbol of how far NFTs have come than seeing them take over Times Square’s iconic billboards. Catch the action from 45th and 46th Streets for the best views—and watch the world stop and stare as digital art dominates one of the most recognizable spaces on Earth.
5. NFT.NYC Opening Night Party at Musica Club
Musica Club | June 25, 7:00 PM–2:00 AM
NFTs meet nightlife at Musica Club for the official Opening Night Event, powered by Nolcha Shows. Expect a packed night of art, entertainment, and industry networking—plus a few surprises. After a full day of panels and presentations, this is where the conversations keep flowing.
Why NFT NYC Is Still the Place to Be
NFT NYC has been called “Crypto Coachella” and even compared to a modern-day Woodstock for the Web3 generation. In a space that lives online, this week offers something rare: real-world connection. Whether you’re here to close deals, showcase your art, or just see the next wave before it breaks, the right room can change everything.
And if history is any guide, the real magic often happens offstage: on rooftops, at afterparties, and at those spontaneous conversations that only happen once a year, when the entire NFT world shows up in one city.
