NYIAX Co-Founder Carolina Abenante to Lead Advertising and Fintech Talks at Web Summit
“With so many massive opportunities tethered to so many competing interests and risks, it’s an honor to again be asked to discuss what's ahead as huge sectors converge and we take collective responsibility for forging a more purpose-driven future for all stakeholders,” said Abenante.
NYIAX, the world’s first and most active upfronts marketplace and advanced contract management exchange, today announced co-founder Carolina Abenante, Esq. will once again take the stage at Web Summit 2021, the largest tech event in the world.
At a time of great uncertainty for many industries and, indeed, the world itself, Web Summit gathers founders and CEOs of technology companies, fast-growing startups, policymakers, and heads of state to ask a simple question: Where to next? In response to that question, Abenante will help lead two key discussions at Web Summit, one focused on the future of advertising and the other on the ups and downs of crypto trading.
“With so many massive opportunities tethered to so many competing interests and risks, it’s an honor to again be asked to discuss what’s ahead as huge sectors converge and we take collective responsibility for forging a more purpose-driven future for all stakeholders,” said Abenante.
Other speakers taking the stage at Web Summit this year include: Amazon CTO, Dr. Werner Vogels; Mars CMO Jane Wakely; United States Virgin Islands’ Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett; S4 Capital Founder & Executive Chairman Sir Martin Sorrell and Impossible Foods CEO Patrick Brown.
