VeeCon is the debut NFT conference created and hosted by entrepreneur, investor, author, and social media personality Gary Vee. To gain access to the conference, attendees had to own a VeeFriends NFT. Each artwork is an animal that represents a quality Vaynerchuk admires, including empathy, curiosity, and respect.

Vaynerchuk’s “VeeFriends” NFT collection is comprised of 10,255 character nonfungible tokens available for purchase via the cryptocurrency ethereum. Each token includes a “smart contract” with metadata that Vaynerchuk can use to interact with its buyer. 

In addition to being digital collectibles, the NFTs give holders access to VeeCon. 

Keynote speakers and attendees included entrepreneurs, influencers, artists, celebrities. Snoop Dogg, Spike Lee, and Mila Kunis were just a handful of the notable A-listers in attendance. VeeFriends holders came from all over the world.

Despite concerns about web3’s longevity due to the recent cryptocurrency crash, Vaynerchuk argued that the conference took place at the perfect time.
