The Ibiza NXT Web3 conference

Ibiza 20 September 2022

Ibiza will host web3 experts, thought-leaders and visionaries this October, for the second IbizaNXT conference – with tickets now on sale at https://nxt.ibizatoken.com. Spread over 3 days – from Oct 13th to 15th – the event firmly establishes the ‘White Isle’ as a destination on the international web3 map, alongside leading locations like Miami, London and Lisbon.

This year’s conference will host leading international speakers who will deepen cutting-edge debates in the Web3 and blockchain world, with a specific focus on Defi, crypto, DAOs, crypto cities, NFTs, and the Metaverse. Attendees will also enjoy a series of panel discussions, workshops, digital art exhibitions, and networking opportunities.

Ibiza has recently embarked on the path to becoming a crypto island by leveraging Web3. The aim is to connect local artists and companies to a global audience and educate the community about the potential of blockchain technology.

As a result, Ibiza NXT was born to connect Ibiza to the potential of Web3 and blockchain by bringing together international speakers and local representatives of industry, culture, and institutions to discuss the infinite possibilities to improve our lives and business through these technologies.

The organizers of Ibiza NXT said: 

“Ever since the 60s, Ibiza has been a cultural mecca for those at the cutting edge – forward-thinkers, radicals and change-makers have always flocked here. And right now, web3 is at the forefront of tectonic transformations in the way we spend, the way we live and the way we think. So what better place for web3 experts and elite to spend a few days debating and dreaming up the future?”

The conference:

• Is organized by Ibiza Token, a project that constantly makes efforts to educate citizens, companies, and institutions about the potential of new technologies, along with the City of Ibiza (Ayuntamiento D’Eivissa) and District 07800
• Counts on the institutional support of the Government of the Balearic Islands (Govern Balear), The Government of the Ibiza Island (Consell Insular D’Eivissa ) and the Federation of Small-Mid size enterprises of Ibiza and Formentera ( PIMEEF).

The conference and the workshops will be held in two main venues: The Twiins Ibiza, a new concept of lifestyle hotel Twiins to fully discover all the sides of the island, and The Hub Ibiza, a community-focused workspace in the heart of Ibiza that connects creatives, entrepreneurs, and executives from start-ups through to the world’s biggest companies.
