Art exhibitions are an integral space for galleries, visionaries, artists, and collectors to interact with each other. A venue to discover new trends, learn from industry leaders, get inspired by the works of other artists, and, most important, expand their network.

NFTs were no exception. Even before the topic reached mainstream audiences, there were small events for like-minded people, but as the community grew, the events became more extensive. Now NFT exhibitions and conferences gather thousands of visitors, take place worldwide, host prominent industry leaders as speakers, and drive the development of the industry forward.

The Digitised.Art team selected a list of the most interesting NFT art events of 2023 and 2024, which every connoisseur of contemporary art and NFT should visit.
