The WAIB Summit, the premier gathering for Web3 and AI innovators will take place in Monaco on June 27-28, 2025. This artisanal summit will be filled with unexpected, transformative discussions and hands-on, deep-dive showcases. It provides the world’s most elite networking opportunities, bringing together international thought leaders, elite venture capitalists, high-net-worth investors and industry innovators. The unparalleled venue of the legendary One Monte-Carlo, Place du Casino will host the event. Get ready for an immersive preview of the next economic revolution!

The WAIB Summit might look like one event, but it’s really the merger of three large conferences into one over two jam-packed days. These events collectively form the WAIB Summit, Bitcoin Ordinals Monaco and NFT FEST Monaco. We partnered with the Stacks Foundation to co-host the Bitcoin & Ordinals segment of the summit. We hope you’ll join us as we continue to explore the new digital frontier—mining, self-custody, decentralized finance (DeFi), institutional use cases, and much more.

Bitcoin Ordinals Monaco and the Rise of dApps

WAIB Summit will put the focus on Bitcoin Ordinals Monaco. It will focus on the emergence of NFT inscriptions, smart contracts and Bitcoin-native decentralized applications (dApps). This part of the model is especially important. It dives into the complex, changing world of Bitcoin and how it could serve as more than just a form of digital money. This partnership with the Stacks Foundation is a further demonstration of that commitment to cultivating Bitcoin innovation.

Just as an exploration of art making practices enlightens us on the infrastructure that supports these digital assets today. Advocacy for self-custody will focus on the benefits of controlling and securing your digital wealth on your own terms. To do this, we’ll look at DeFi use cases and institutional use cases. We’ll explore the ways that Web3 technologies are continuing to find their place within traditional financial systems.

NFT FEST Monaco: Digital Ownership and On-Chain Culture

NFT FEST Monaco is another key component of the WAIB Summit, with a dedicated focus on the future of digital ownership and on-chain culture. This festival explores the ways that non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are changing creative, entertaining, and scholarly spaces. Learn how they’re transforming creative industries, collectibles, gaming and virtual real estate. Attendees can expect to see cutting-edge projects, innovative applications, and discussions on the evolving legal and regulatory landscape surrounding NFTs.

The festival aims to provide a platform for creators, collectors, and enthusiasts to connect, collaborate, and explore the vast potential of digital assets. More importantly, it will answer big questions about the long-term sustainability and social impact of NFTs. NFT FEST Monaco brings together thinkers from many different sectors and artistic disciplines. As partners, we hope to lead by example, fostering responsible and inclusive development in the growing NFT space.

Networking and Exclusive Experiences

In addition to the informative sessions and creative showcases, the WAIB Summit is intentionally crafted to promote high-level, idea-generating/networking AND exclusive experiences. The event will feature an exclusive VIP Networking Lounge. This carefully-designed environment opens opportunities for the best investors and innovators to meet and pursue collaborative strategic partnerships. This lounge provides a great small group environment for deeper conversations and deal-making.

Personalizing the experience, the summit features The Iconic Monaco BEACH Party and TOP KOL Monte-Carlo Casino Night. These receptions offer informal and welcoming spaces for fellows, speakers, and other participants to decompress and connect. The WAIB Summit firmly believes in producing a fully inclusive and immersive experience. Most importantly, it ingeniously mixes professional development with recreation and fun.
