An Exclusive and Innovative Event
techCannes: The Gala is an exclusive event, with prestigious international guests, hosted on May 19th on the world-famous Croisette, at the emblematic Plage Vilebrequin.
The gala begins with a cocktail reception during which a famous artist will create a painting live. Our guests, artists, celebrities, entrepreneurs, athletes, actors and other dignitaries, will be invited to participate in its creation and autograph it.
During the dinner, a private auction will feature unique works of art, memorabilia, and exceptional experiences with renowned artists, celebrities and athletes. The painting created during the cocktail will also be auctioned.
A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to an international charity.
This innovative auction is phygital: Each buyer will receive the artwork, object or confirmation of their participation in the experience accompanied by their digital double in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT).
Our guests will discover the disruptive power of blockchain technology in a legendary setting that perfectly embodies the subtle balance between the timeless charm of tradition and the spectacular display of innovation.
The Concept
Showcasing the disruptive potential
of Blockchain technology
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a digital object tracked, stored and authenticated on a blockchain, to which a cryptographic identifier is attached, making it unique and non-fungible.
The NFT certifies the authenticity of an object, guarantees the ownership rights of the holder and ensures liquidity on secondary markets.
​
While the global NFT market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 33% over the period 2023-2030, NFTs represent less than 1% of the share of revenue generated by auctions.
​
NFTs are set to disrupt the auctions industry and we are delighted to share this revolution with our prestigious guests.
The Experience
A paradigm shift in real time
Guests will receive their gala invitation in the form of a soul-bound NFT.
The NFT is sent to their wallet. The NFT is personal and cannot be given, sold or transferred to anyone else.
Owning this NFT grants our guests the privilege of having priority for attending select future events.
​
This digital invitation, which was originally just an email, becomes a rare and valuable asset.
​
The lots sold during the auction come with an NFT, which certifies their authenticity, thus protecting the property rights of buyers, ensuring complete transparency of transactions and facilitating exchanges on the secondary market.
The Auction
Unique works of art, memorabilia, and experiences
Unique works of art, objects and experiences with athletes, actors, and celebrities will be sold during the private auction.​
These works, objects and experiences have never been sold before and most of them were created especially for the gala.
​
Some works have been created with cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, allowing us to draw new sources of inspiration and push the limits of artistic expression.
The experiences provide our buyers with the opportunity to share in the day-to-day lives of extraordinary individuals and gain insight into their exceptional mindset.
