Our mission is to reshape events for the digital arts age and push the boundaries. It means abandoning the status quo and rewriting event playbooks. Thinking bigger. Taking risks. Pushing new limits.
In 2025 more than 4000 artists, collectors and entrepreneurs joined the revolution to celebrate NFT Culture.
In 2026, NFC Summit takes over the Unicorn Factory Lisboa with a dedicated, site-wide art program curated in collaboration with 100 collectors. Across the central plaza, container galleries, and the full Art Factory Building takeover, each space is designed specifically for experiencing digital art, from large-scale installations to more intimate encounters. Shaped with a collector lens, the curation creates a continuous journey through the site, encouraging discovery, context, and meaningful connections between artists, galleries, and collectors.

Digital Art Curations at Nonfungible Conference 2026 showing digital art IRL across spaces, formats, and conversations
NFC 2026 brings digital art into real life. Set within a connected industrial site, the program unfolds as a living environment where artists, galleries, platforms, and communities coexist over three days under multiple curations by Arab Bank Switzerland, NFC, 100 collectors, RNA Studio and BOTTO.
This year’s format is not built in reference to an existing model. It stands on its own as a temporary ecosystem for digital art to unfold in real life. NFC operates as a space where works can be unfinished, systems can evolve, and visitors can take part in the experience rather than observe a polished, finished product.
As John Karp puts it: “The institutions that have defined how art is shown will innovate more slowly. They have reasons to. NFC does not have those reasons. Each edition has been an attempt to ask what the native format for digital art in real life actually looks like, because the answer is not yet settled, and the only way to find it is to try things, publicly, at scale, and learn from what works. This is the fifth edition. It is also, in many ways, year zero.”
