Webinar | June.17.2021 | 1pm - 2pm (Eastern Standard Time)

Online Webinar

Orrick and NVCA are hosting a webinar on NFTs on June 17, 2021.

NFTs - digital assets that represent real-world objects like art, music, in-game items and videos and built on the Ethereum blockchain – are an exciting new area of technology. With $150M transacted in 2020 to $1.5B transacted in Q1 2021 alone, the velocity around this sector is explosive.

Our conversation with leading investors, issuers, and exchanges discusses where the technology is headed and how NFTs can be leveraged for brand building and IP protection, additional revenue streams, and risk mitigation.
