Today we are announcing 59 Art and NFTs & AI Track Speakers who will take the stage to share their knowledge and experience at NFT.NYC 2024 (Times Square and Hudson Yards, April 3-5).
130+ Speakers will join us on the Art Track in April to discuss their journeys and insights on how to be successful as an NFT Artist and other important topics around this creative renaissance.
The NFTs & AI Track is new this year and will include talks focused on AI identity, the role of AI in Art, using AI for storytelling and more.

Featured Round 3 Speakers
Art Track
William Entriken
Lead author - ERC-721
Proposed Session: Are Artists Entitled to Royalties?
William brings NFT applications to the world including government, enterprise and individual artists. He leads workshops to teach web3 concepts and teaches entry-level smart contract programming as well as advisory for the most technical projects. He is the lead author of ERC-721, the technology on which modern NFTs are launched.
"The main reason that artists are not entitled to royalties is because they sold the thing. It’s not theirs anymore. Subsequent payments were not included in the original agreement when they sold it.
Nanda Khiara
Artist - Gallery NK
Proposed Session: Intersection of Art & Technology
Nanda Khiara, a Kuwaiti-born contemporary artist, draws from her global experiences to create fine and digital art. Her oversized canvases explore themes of transition and change, influenced by Da Vinci's urban philosophy. With degrees in Interior Architecture and Applied Arts, she tells unique stories through her vibrant digital abstract art. She recently enhanced her expertise with a Master's Certificate in Blockchain and Web 3 Technology. Nanda's work has been exhibited worldwide, including prestigious shows like the Florence Biennale 2019 and the London Art Biennale 2021. In November 2022, her "Walk My World" digital series was featured at UNESCO HQ in Paris.
"Embrace the brushstrokes of change, for in the canvas of life, every stroke adds depth to the masterpiece of your journey."
NFTs & AI Track
Adrien Stern
CEO and Founder - Reveel
Proposed Session: How AI & NFTs are enabling the Collaboration Economy
Adrien Stern is the CEO & Founder of Reveel, a web3 revenue share company for musicians and creators. By age 21, Adrien was touring across Europe as the guitarist and manager of Swiss reggae band, Najavibes. He founded indie label Bridge Music under which he wrote and produced songs for top reggae artists. After experiencing the painstaking and drawn out process of receiving revenue share payouts from music collaborators across different countries, Adrien built a music blockchain startup in 2018 to ensure proper music contributor compensation. In 2020, Reveel (r3vl.xyz) launched as an administrative automation tool for creators, before pivoting into Web3 in December 2021 as an on-chain revenue management platform.
"Co-creation is the secret weapon to unlocking Web3 success."
Tess Robinson
Co-Founder - Bulls and Apes Project/BOTB, Slay Ventures
Proposed Session: Decentralized Selves: Crafting AI Identities with NFTs on the Blockchain
An innovator, speaker and industry leader with over 15 years of professional experience most recently in startup, blockchain and venture but also spanning sales, marketing and healthcare.
Tess has a passion for AI and blockchain technology. She is a key participant in how these technologies will shape the future of humanity. She connects and collaborates with other professionals/brands and has developed a network of industry-leading action takers and venture capitalists.
She is in pursuit of visionaries who are building the intersection of blockchain and AI technology.
