Tribeca X, a part of the larger Tribeca Festival, serves as a platform for thought leaders across various industries to come together and discuss the latest trends. The festival includes live conversations, workshops, screenings, and networking events in New York City, culminating in the prestigious Tribeca X Awards, which celebrates the best brand stories of the year.
In addition to the panel discussion, OKX has been a key player in the Tribeca Festival as a Presenting Partner for the third year in a row. This partnership involves naming rights to the BMCC Theatre, now branded as the “OKX Theatre at BMCC TPAC” for the duration of the festival from June 5 to June 16. OKX also sponsored the gala screening of FIREBRAND at the OKX Theatre at BMCC TPAC on June 11.
OKX’s collaboration with the Tribeca Festival began in 2022 with a focus on Web3 initiatives. The partnership has since expanded, with the introduction of the inaugural Tribeca Festival NFT pass in 2023. This ongoing relationship underscores OKX’s global reach and diverse partnerships across various industries, showcasing its commitment to the Web3 ecosystem.
The insights shared at the Tribeca X panel shed light on how marketing professionals can leverage AI and Web3 technologies to enhance their strategies and connect with audiences in innovative ways.
