NFC Lisbon VIP Lounge by 100 collectors

We’re still buzzing from everything that unfolded over the past few week. The Non-Fungible Conference 2025, held at Pavilhão Carlos Lopes on June 4–5, 2025, was a resounding success - and we were thrilled to host a dedicated space for the 100 collectors and NFC VIP communities right at the heart of it.

For the second consecutive year, 100 collectors partnered with NFC Lisbon to bring the best of Web3 and digital art to its attendees and our members. We offered conference tickets, a collector breakfast in collaboration with Validvent, exclusive artist encounters, private art advisory sessions, and our signature private guided tours of the art on view at the conference. Our curated city guide highlighted must-see exhibitions around Lisbon, while our NFC agenda made sure no one missed a beat.

You can still access the NFC VIP agenda here.

The NFC VIP Lounge x 100 collectors

At the NFC VIP Lounge x 100 collectors, our members found a vibrant meeting point for art, conversations, and connection. Here are some of the highlights.

The VIP lounge was accessible to NFC VIPs, members of 100 collectors, collectors of the Mr. Richi's drop on Alias and collectors of the NFC Poster on Tezos. See the NFC lounge announcement here.

Located on the ground floor of the conference, the VIP lounge included a coffee and snack bar, a Polaroid station, a game and coloring corner, and many seats to relax, recharge and have meaningful conversations around art books and quotes from 100 collectors members about their collecting journey.

The Signature Art Tours

Our now expected private tours of the art on view at the conference led by Eleonora Brizi and Fanny Lakoubay allowed VIPs to discover the art exhibited within the main section of the conference, such as the new digital art space by Vhils, Eterno, the Rarible Interactive Art Show curated by Vandaloo, the SERC brain wave project, and the Buildtree space curated by The Whale community.

Besides, art was also displayed in containers outside of the conference by Tezos, Opensea and vivid.art.

The Crypto Stamp Odyssey x BTC-Wine Degustation

One revelation of the conference was the crypto stamp section where post offices from around the world presented their digital stamp collections and initiatives along with talks about this amazing use case for NFTs.

The closing of this event was hosted in the VIP lounge in collaboration with BTC-Wine for some delicious Bordeaux tasting.

The Validvent Collector Breakfast

On the second day of the conference we hosted a special breakfast for Validvent, specialists in crypto compliance, digital security, and strategic advisory for the art world.

Validvent CEO introduced how to safely store NFTs, what does legal and tax compliance look like for galleries and platforms and how can artists and collectors protect their digital assets over time.

It was a lovely time and an open space for learning and conversation.

The Tonight Show

We almost forgot to mention that we also produced the Tonight Show starring host Benny Redbeard, bringing our flair and production skills to the immersive main stage and organizing chaos into a magical evening.

Throughout the evening, one of the large mainstage screen displayed art pieces from members of 100 collectors and highlighting emerging artists who don't often get the spotlight. Your three initiators of 100 collectors even participated to one of the segments as guests as shown below.

If you missed it, the livestream is available here.

Eterno VIP Dinner

To close the week, we invited our members to the exclusive Eterno dinner with Vhils aka Alexandre Farto, where our members had the chance to preview his "Threshold" exhibition and share an intimate moment with key figures from the ecosystem.

Thank You!

Throughout the week, our initiators Fanny Lakoubay and Eleonora Brizi were actively involved in panels and conversations, sharing their expertise as curators and advisors in this fast-evolving space. Pauline Foessel and Delfina Sena, welcomed members, led guided tours, and hosted one-on-one conversations during the conference.

It was two intense days of programming, connection, and return. We’re incredibly grateful to Non-Fungible Conference for the renewed trust and partnership, and we look forward to the years ahead. NFC Lisbon continues to establish itself as  the digital art festival and annual gathering - and we’re proud to be part of that journey.

Thank you Grida and John Karp for your kind words as well.
