Crowds are forming their own organizations using blockchain, cryptocurrencies and NFTs. How can your company take advantage of these same technologies and strategies without being left behind? Read More >

New web technologies are empowering individuals to connect to each other using blockchain. They are sharing currencies (crypto), digital assets like Non Fungible Tokens (commonly called NFTs), and are forming their own collectives known as DAOs (Distributed Autonomous Organizations). Looking just a step ahead, these technologies are a setup for the growing Metaverse movement as groups of people interact in virtual settings.

Looking broadly, these technologies are enabling crowds to assemble their own organizations like companies, to self-govern, self-fund, and grow revenue and value for themselves instead of relying on traditional organizations.

Established organizations and companies can use these same technologies and tactics to their advantage. This presentation will offer case studies of companies that are using these strategies to offer new payment systems, membership programs, digital goods and experiences, and preparations for their brands to embrace the Metaverse.
