How Web 3.0 can empower creatives (Live Recording) Part 2

24m · Freelancer Nation · 02 Sep 16:00

The following panel took place at The Parlour Singapore on 29 July 2022

They say that the bear market is the best time to enter, plan, and prepare. But how do you prepare for the future of Web 3.0, crypto, and NFTs as a creative? Is it even worth it right now and how would you even get involved in the budding industry?

In this entry-level session, we talk to a specially curated panel of creators and movers in Web 3.0. Each of them is from different background, creatively finding their own niches in this diverse and infinite space of 3.0. It's not just about finance or tech, it's about using your creativity and skills to carve a piece of the pie for yourself.

This session is meant to inform and inspire you to prepare yourself for the future, and perhaps be one of the first movers yourself.

Great for people who:

- Is interested in finding out more about 3.0.

- Want to be on top of the trends

- Are looking to use their existing skillsets in a new and exciting space
