NFT.NYC 2026 takes place September 1–3 at the Edison Ballroom in Times Square, New York City, bringing together the art, finance, technology, and entertainment communities at the heart of the NFT economy — with Times Square serving as the backdrop.
The conference addresses NFTs as the tokenization layer for virtual assets, spanning AI agent identity, gaming economies, community ownership, and digital culture.
The three-day program opens with Registration Day, where attendees collect their badge and sponsor merchandise, followed by a VIP and Speaker Reception and a Times Square Roadblock featuring NFT activations on area billboards. Main stage programming showcases industry thought leaders, while partner activations, exhibits, and treasure hunts run throughout the event. NFT.NYC 2026 closes with an Artist Showcase and live performances.
