Since the launch of Cryptokitties and the subsequent craze that followed, which almost brought the Ethereum Blockchain to a standstill, it is safe to say that non-fungible tokens have grabbed the imagination of all crypto enthusiasts. We want to shed some light on this fast-growing class of crypto-assets, and dive deeper into what truly makes non-fungible tokens so valuable.



We are super excited to host some of the most well-known names in the Non-fungible token space. Including the likes of CRYPTOKITTIES, BLOCKROCKET, RADIX DLT and STICKSPORTS.



LINEUP:



Piers Ridyard // Founder of Radix DLT

Benny Giang // Founder of CryptoKitties

Andy Gray & James Morgan // Founders of BlockRocket.tech

Paul Collins // Founder of Sticksports



SPEAKERS BIO’S



KEYNOTE: Piers Ridyard // Founder of Radix DLT



A serial entrepreneur, Piers started in Blockchain by experimenting with creating insurance smart contracts that could operate without the need for a carrier in early 2015. Before taking the helm at Radix, he co-founded Surematics, a YCombinator S'17 company, helping to create the world's first decentralized dataroom.



Benny Giang // Founder of CryptoKitties



Benny has been fascinated by cryptocurrencies since early 2016 and was an early supporter of Ethereum. Benny played a pivotal role in launching CryptoKitties during its infancy to its current global success. He is exploring the intersection of cryptography, games, and art; all of which extend the interactivity of digital assets using smart contracts.
