by François Toussaint, CEO ARTTS, Sari Depreeuw, IP lawyer and partner in Crowell & Moring’s Brussels office and Elie Auvray, co-founder of logion
Following in the footsteps of ‘La dame au Pantin,’ a major work by Félicien Rops, François Toussaint, Sari Depreeuw and Elie Auvray propose an educational discovery of the potential of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) in the creation of a digital collection. What benefits can be expected? What are the risks? Subjects under discussion will include certification issues, market dynamics and intellectual property aspects. There will be a question and answer period on this new subject which has inspired much curiosity.
Talk given in: French
Join us at 4pm at the stand King Baudouin Foundation n°131
