Cryptocurrency and the new world of money and ownership are getting buzz. But what does it all mean for marketers? A leading crypto CMO and industry experts explain this future and the bigger meaning for companies building transactions with customers. Thursday, Sept. 15 (Stay tuned for more information).

Don’t miss this expert panel discussion for marketers on the emerging world of cryptocurrency and NFTs. Yes, Bitcoin and Bored Apes have had highs and lows in the past year, but new digital currencies and blockchain ownership mechanisms have deeper meaning for marketing. NFTs, for example, extend the idea of ownership to consumers in new ways — creating new avenues for marketers to build customer relationships, scale promotions, engage fans, and even differentiate their brands.
