EVENT DESCRIPTION

Christie’s is delighted to present the 9th edition of the Art+Tech Summit on 29 October 2024. Following the insightful discussions on topics ranging from sustainability and artificial intelligence in fashion, to the state-of-the-art market at the New York conference in July 2024, the return of this preeminent event to the vibrant city of Hong Kong further cements the auction house’s position as a global leader at the convergence of art, luxury, and cutting-edge technology. 

Coinciding with Hong Kong Fintech Week (28 Oct – 1 Nov 2024), this one-day summit will explore the transformative impact of emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Art, and Fintech. The programme will include lectures, talks, and panel discussions on topics such as Investing in the Age of AI, Collecting Digital Art in Today’s Market, and Quantifying Trust in the Digital Age of Finance, among others.

For this edition of the summit, we are pleased to announce that Sébastien Borget, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of The Sandbox – a pioneer in the metaverse and Harshika Patel, Chief Executive Officer of JP Morgan Private Bank Asia Pacific will headline the summit as key speakers. Their insights will enrich the discussion on the transformative impact of emerging technologies on the art world. Alongside these highlights, there will be a diverse lineup of speakers throughout the summit, showcasing various perspectives and expertise at the intersection of art and technology.  

Additionally, acclaimed digital artist Mike Winkelmann, known as Beeple will participate remotely via Zoom. Notably, in 2021, Beeple’s work was offered at Christie’s, marking the first time the auction house sold a purely digital work of art. It achieved US$69 million, making him the world’s most expensive NFT artist at the time. 

Hosted at Christie’s new APAC headquarters at The Henderson, the 9th edition of the Art+Tech Summit will provide attendees with unparalleled access to industry innovators, artists, and creatives driving the future of the art world. Through this dynamic platform for knowledge-sharing and collaboration, Christie’s aims to inspire the global art and technology communities to unlock new frontiers of creative expression and collection.
