Miami, FL – September 23, 2021 – When it comes to integrating NFTS (Non-fungible tokens) into the collective consciousness of residents, Miami is on top of the game! The city is witnessing physical and virtual spaces merge in exciting new ways to propel engagement in the digital art-world realm. NFTS provide a unique connection to the creator that does not exist with any other art form, and savvy local brands are changing how they advertise and sell their products to keep pace with the digital commodity. This panel explored the current and near-term future NFT space and the opportunities it provides as it crosses over into other mediums.

Panelists included Patrice Meignan, CEO and Founder of TheArsenale, Marc Billings, CEO and Founder of Blackdove, as well as Dan Mikesell and Neil Schwam. The panel was moderated by Massimo Casagrande, Dean of Fashion at Instituto Marangoni Miami.
