From June 4–6, Unicorn Factory Lisboa hosts outdoor art installations, solo shows in containers, a four-story historic mill factory filled with art, a KAWAII convention, a stablecoin day, an AI vibe-a-thon and much more at the largest international Web3 gathering dedicated to digital pop culture.

NFC Summit has spent five years figuring out what it looks like when the digital art community builds its own format. This is the most ambitious version of that answer yet. Artists, collectors, builders, and communities sharing the same floor, the same conversations, and the same space as the general public.
From June 4 to 6, the Unicorn Factory Lisboa becomes the gathering point for the people who make, collect, and build in digital art and Web3 culture. Over 200 artists, 36+ exhibitors, 350+ speakers, and three days of exhibitions, installations, talks, and late-night programming across 50,000 square meters of preserved industrial architecture.
Curated in collaboration with Fanny Lakoubay and 100 collectors, and co-organized with Arab Bank Switzerland and The Cult of Crypto Art.

Artists, collectors, curators, and founders are present throughout — not just on panels, but on the floor, in conversation with visitors, next to their work. Speakers include collectors and founders FrankNFT, Benny Redbeard, Seth Goldstein, and Sebastien Borget; curators Eleonora Brizi, Dominique Moulon, Georg Bak, and Micol Ap; and artists Operator, serc, Boris Eldagsen, Violetta Jones, Leo Caillard, Ivona Tau, Simon Hudson from BottoDAO, Musicalnetta, Stanza, and many more. "People don't just come for the art," says Lakoubay. "They also come to see each other."
The community side of the programme runs in parallel: dedicated gatherings for the MEEBITS, NORMIES, MRRICHI, XCOPY, and CryptoPunks communities. The BOTTO AI Slop Night brings a never—seen-before community activation from the BOTTO DAO. A 24-hour Vibe-a-thon brings builders and artists together with AI tools along with an AI masterclass organized by the AI Art Magazine and Boris Eldagsen.
The exhibitions are made possible with the support of Arab Bank Switzerland, OpenSea, Tezos, Cult of Crypto Art, Exchange Art, and many other patrons and supporters of digital art. Generative art from the Art Blocks ecosystem, work coded on Bitcoin, Tezos-native community curations, and on-chain pixel projects share the same location — without a hierarchy imposed from outside.
"We have done our best to organize the chaos as elegantly as we can. What happens next is up to you." — Fanny Lakoubay, curator, NFC Summit 2026
