Future+

✨ Reflecting on an incredible year for Future+! 2024 began with the Codes of Culture summit at the iconic Hotel Le Marois in Paris, where we explored the intersections of luxury, AI, and NFTs. In June, we delved into cutting-edge discussions at Cannes Lions, and by September, our Future+ NOWHERE event spotlighted gaming, 3D commerce, and blockchain's transformative impact. Beyond these main events, we hosted virtual and in-person events that fostered meaningful connections within our vibrant ecosystem. A huge thank you to our members, partners, and collaborators for making 2024 unforgettable. Here's to building an even brighter 2025 together. Wishing you all a Happy New Year! 🥂 Catch our end-of-year wrap-up newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/eKGVJa_2 🎥 And relive the moments with us below!
