Ibiza NXT, the renowned blockchain conference, is returning for its third edition from October 4th to 6th on the beautiful island of Ibiza. Known as the “White Island,” Ibiza has been undergoing a transformation to become a blockchain hub, focusing on connectivity, scalability, and sustainability within its community. This year’s conference will delve into the convergence of purpose and technology, exploring how Web3 and blockchain innovation can elevate various aspects of our lives.
The conference will focus on the evolution of Web3, with particular emphasis on trends in NFTs, the Metaverse, DeFi, and DAOs. However, it will also explore other relevant topics, including the relationship between blockchain and AI technologies, physical asset tokenization, new synergies between blockchain and sustainability, and the transformative influence of blockchain on our daily lives. In addition, the conference will highlight the role of women in the industry, provide insights into career development in technology, and address the challenges that can arise when technology loses sight of its original purpose.
Ibiza NXT 2023 will offer free admission, although registration is required due to limited spots. The event is organized by Ibiza Token, a project dedicated to educating citizens, companies, and institutions about the potential of new technologies. It is supported by the City of Ibiza, the University of the Balearic Islands, and the Federation of Small-Midsize Enterprises of Ibiza and Formentera. The conference has partnerships with various organizations, including Bankless DAO, Dexart, Travala.com, and KlimaDAO.

On the evening of the 6th of October, the event will be held at the Ebusus Sociedad Cultural, an iconic venue established in 1927.
The conference format will consist of two distinct moments. The morning sessions will feature thought-provoking panels, inspiring talks, and the unveiling of cutting-edge innovations and use cases.
