The SMARTVerum exhibition was a real treat for art and technology lovers - as they were able to see how new technologies are influencing the way they create, opening up unprecedented opportunities for artists and investors. Offering a unique space, we presented works by artists such as Sabina Maria Grzyb, David Schab, Marcin Kolpanowicz, Szymon Chwalisz, Mariola Jasko and Boguslaw Lustyk. Some works could be admired in both physical and digital form - as NFT. Zones devoted to AI, VR and holograms opened up the interactive world of art in a new way for the conference participants. We presented an innovative dimension of artistic experiences, combining technology with creativity. We displayed the works up for auction on a hologram, while the VR (Virtual Reality) zone transported participants to the Verum.ART gallery, reflecting the works available on our marketplace. Everyone could put on VR goggles and immerse themselves in the virtual art space. There was a lot of interest - many participants wanted to see for themselves how the goggles worked, they approached, asked questions and discovered new possibilities for receiving art. Visitors experienced immersive augmented reality spaces, which was an inspiring and unforgettable experience for them.

The Art Auction - Fusion - aroused enormous interest among participants. Among the exhibited works were masterpieces by artists such as Rafał Olbiński and Sabina Maria Grzyb, whose animated NFT appeared at a SMARTVerum auction for the first time - and was immediately sold! This was a breakthrough moment, symbolically opening a new era in digital art. The bidding for Rafał Olbiński's painting, which reached the staggering amount of 240 thousand zlotys, also generated a lot of excitement! The winner received the opportunity to meet and talk with the artist during a special dinner. The auction was conducted by Tomasz Jaworski, CEO of SMARTVerum group. The entire event took place simultaneously live and online, attracting crowds of collectors and investors. It was the premiere of our auction panel for online users - Verum.ART!

During the Tech of Tomorrow 2025 conference, Jarosław Fuchs, former Vice President of Bank Pekao S.A., presented a revolutionary art tokenization project, implemented in collaboration with Mastercard and SMARTVerum. In his presentation, he emphasized that investing in art using new technologies opens completely new possibilities for artists, enabling them to sell their works in NFT form. He also spoke about the ARCHIV3 project, which focuses on „freezing” art in time using blockchain technology. During the lecture, he addressed key issues related to art accessibility, changes in collecting methods, and new perspectives for artists and investors. As he emphasized, tokenization is not only a digital transformation of the market but also a new approach to ownership, security, and value of artworks that could revolutionize the art world.

A crucial part of our exhibition program was the Influ.com workshop. Experts Ewa Myślińska, CEO, and Michał Senger, board member, along with Influ.com Product Owner Jakub Głowacki, former Pekao S.A. Bank Vice President Jarosław Fuchs, and Paweł Ziemba, Director of Digital Infrastructure Strategy and Development at PLS, discussed projects that are changing the rules of the game in art and sports. The presentations focused on tokenization, the process of transforming assets into digital tokens on the blockchain, and how this technology is revolutionizing the market. Among the Influ.com projects discussed were NFT Hearts for the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation, collections of volleyball NFT balls created in collaboration with the GOCC Foundation, Influ.com and the Polish Volleyball League, and an anniversary collection for the famous basketball club Dziki Warsaw. Each of these projects was a great success and demonstrated that blockchain introduces new monetization opportunities for artists, athletes, and organizations, as well as for those who want to help those in need: quickly, easily, and effectively.

During the Tech of Tomorrow 2025 conference, major technology companies and institutions such as BOSCH, VOLVO, IBM, Kulczyk Investment and Poznań City Lab and many others were present, and just like us, presented their innovative solutions. Networking was very dynamic and fruitful - a unique opportunity to meet industry leaders, make valuable business contacts and exchange experiences with experts from around the world. After two days full of inspiration, meetings and conversations, we are proud to say that our participation in the Tech of Tomorrow 2025 conference has broadened and changed the way participants look at modern technologies. It is events like this that reaffirm artists, sports enthusiasts, business people, as well as consumers, that new technologies in so many fields are opening up new horizons! We look forward to future events and sincerely thank the Tech of Tomorrow organizers, participants, artists and experts for the unforgettable excitement and shaping the future together!
