Pillsbury has been a leader in helping clients navigate the many legal questions that arise in the uncharted waters of NFTs and web3 more broadly, drawing on its deep experience serving clients across tech, media, financial services, energy, real estate and other industries. From helping draft the original Patent Act that shapes patent law today, to incorporating Intel and leading its IPO, to advising the new emerging companies and projects of today that will be the giants of tomorrow, you can learn more about Pillsbury's NFT expertise here or by visiting pillsburylaw.com. Pillsbury's Carolyn Toto will be joining us to moderate a panel, and Michael Horikawa will be presenting.

Splinterlands, the blockbuster NFT game, has been ranked by DappRadar as the number one game on any blockchain, and Splinterlands' CEO Jessie Reich (“Aggroed”) will be joining us to speak. Splinterlands is a free to play blockchain trading card game, and the rapid battles in Splinterlands are fast and furious, with each game only taking a few minutes. The Splinterlands company was founded in 2018 by Jesse "Aggroed" Reich (who will be speaking at the event!) and Matt Rosen. Its fantasy-themed collectible card game, Splinterlands, currently boasts 2.4M registered users and more than 1M unique active wallets, handling 3-5M blockchain transactions a day.
