Influencer, entrepreneur, speaker, and prominent NFT advocate, Gary “Vee” Vaynerchuk, is making good on his promises to holders of his VeeFriends NFTs with VeeCon 2022 — a conference “around Web3 and Culture” that kicks off next week in Minneapolis. VeeCon offers a huge speaker lineup including everyone from Snoop Dogg to Beeple and is available only to holders of the VeeFriends NFTs. Benzinga's Chris Katje will be attending the event and covering it through his podcast Roadmaps.
As a use case that adds value for NFT holders, a conference makes a great deal of sense for VaynerX, VaynerMedia, and VaynerNFT — all permutations of the media machine built by Gary Vee. Vaynerchuk has been conducting seminars teaching his own brand of entrepreneurship and hustle-culture inspiration for decades, so putting on another seminar seems well within VaynerX’s established strengths. To be clear, that puts VeeFriends in a rare group among big NFT projects — they have the ability to add value to the community doing something they have a proven track record doing.
