Where do all the NFTs creators, collectors and developers go when NFTLA is over? Consensus 2022! The world's largest and longest running crypto, blockchain and Web3 Festival invites you to take over Austin, TX on June 9-12, 2022 to continue the fun of NFTLA!

Hear from the most influential NFT artists and creators including Maaria Bajwa, founder of Stoner Cats, and founding board member of the Ape Foundation; Micah Johnson, creator of Aku; Isaac 'Drift' Wright, creator of "Where My Vans Go"; Julie Pacino, creator of "Keepers of the Inn".

Explore some of the exciting experiences we have in store for you at Consensus this year:

With a 6,000 square foot space in the heart of the Conference Center, the Metaverse Zone will focus on content and conversations about the emergence of virtual worlds and economies. In addition, the Metaverse Zone will feature demos from some of the hottest metaverse experiences in the space, as well as a stage for metaverse discussions.

A visual immersion into the future of art and commerce on the blockchain. Consensus will bring the massively creative world of non-fungible tokens to life via a physical/digital location that will showcase not only the creative artists in the space but will educate those looking to get more involved on the dev, culture, metaverse and DAO side of NFTs. 

Sports and crypto is gaining steam. From large multi-year deals with teams and leagues to NFT projects from some of the most noted athletes in the world, our branded sport court will be where we program sessions and conversations relating to this growing crypto segment. Surrounded by bleachers for seating, CoinDesk will program multiple daily sessions on our sport court. In addition, it will host games, contests, tournaments and much more.

The creator economy is quickly shifting to having a decentralized, multi-chain marketplace where artists and creators own their product and don’t give the lion share of the financial upside to labels, studios and big tech platforms. The half-day Creator Summit will showcase the creators, founders, developers and collectors who are helping to decode and expand the fast-growing opportunities of the emerging imagination fueled creative ecosystem.

🪴Spirit Seed Update - Sell Out, NFT LA, Giveaway, Seed Gathering Sponsored By Ninjalerts! Oh My!

If you haven’t already heard, Spirit Seeds NFTs have been sold out for weeks! We’re so proud of this wonderful community and privileged to have each and every one of you on board!Over and over at NFT LA we heard the earliest members of the Spirit Seed community celebrating the fruits of their sharp decision making! First we dropped free NFT LA ticket vouchers to them, tradable transferrable and redeemable just in time to join the groundbreaking NFT LA event and capitalize on the hype! (Humbly, they hype was overdelivered on too!)

Then we pulled together the Spirit Seed community and friends for an impromptu gathering in Downtown LA as a warm up to the conference. We enjoyed drinks and delectables with this incredible crew at a jaw dropping venue called “The Wolves.” The quality of the crafted cocktails, scrumptious food, and one-of-a-kind décor was only surpassed by the smashing conversations buzzing among the amazing assembly of carefully curated guests. Thanks a “forest-load” to our partner Ninjalerts who co-sponsored this fine event and thanks to Ninjalerts CEO Trevor Owens for joining us live!

Finally, we managed to squeeze even more value into a compacted amount of time and space, by performing our drawing for the winners of Nicole Buffett’s 10 Spirit Coin NFTs while we were at NFT LA. Many Spirit Seed holders were surprised to learn that these NFTs included a physical framed artwork as well. What fun it was delivering these fine pieces (with a fine floor price to boot) to the winners and notifying them of their good fortune!
