Huge shout out to everyone who attended and contributed to making Nouns Town such an unforgettable event. The energy throughout the week was palpable, from the creative activations and insightful panels to the electric atmosphere of the Nouns Fest Short Films premiere. The collaborations, conversations, and community spirit were a testament to what Nouns can accomplish when we come together. It was a true pleasure to be a part of, and I canβt wait to see how the momentum carries us forward into the future. Check out some updates from Prof below.
