FUTURE TREND SUMMIT 2022
​
The Future Trend Summit was held in PJPAC, One Utama from the 1st to 3rd of July 2022. This conference was organized to provide an opportunity to all individuals and organizations who are involved and interested in the advancement of materials characterization techniques, to share their views and experiences. It is a meeting of minds among technologists, digital entrepreneurs, corporate executives to discuss key trends, strategic challenges, major issues and risks impacting the digital future. More than 10 renowned speakers from several countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore were invited to unearth the latest digital trends and investment opportunities. There were approximately 300 participants who attended the conference physically.

NFT INSIGHT
​
Our team, G7 Capital, was also invited to speak on the third day of the summit. We started off by explaining what we did to launch our NFT project and what people should be aware of in running their NFT project. When people are deciding whether to invest in an NFT project, the art is an important consideration. Their NFT project’s art needs to appeal to their target market. If they don’t put the time and effort into designing the right imagery, then consumers won’t be interested in buying into it.
Our founder, John further elaborated that another important piece of a successful NFT project is utility. Once they’ve decided what their utility is going to be, their roadmap will explain how the utility will roll out. NFT roadmaps help communicate the long-term plans for their project to potential buyers and community members. Hence, John reminded the participants that having a realistic and well-thought-out roadmap can help bring in more investors to their project, as well as keep current NFT holders engaged and excited about their future plans. It helps assure buyers that they’re committed to the project; so much so that they’ve planned out the next several months of that project and the value they’re going to receive for being a part of that project. In addition to that, John also highlighted the importance of educating their audience about the NFT Space.
GUNFIE CONFERENCE
​
We also had the opportunity to introduce our latest project, GUNFIE. GUNFIE is a third person shooting NFT-game that aims to create a high quality gaming experience with various game modes. It serves as an engaging community with a thriving economy; focusing on Free-to-Play and Play-to-Earn mechanics by leveraging blockchain technology. It is for gamers who seek, who are willing to explore and take risks, not just for the sake of adventures but for a higher purpose of creating a memorable gaming experience while making extras. The main audience for our game is between 12-35 years old but our game is suitable for the entire population of all ages.
​
After our presentation, we launched a token public sale. The objective of this was to guarantee that all buyers will get some tokens. We want to give all buyers the opportunity to participate in our sale, rather than only those who can get their money in the quickest. We wish to repay the future trend community by selling the tokens with a 50% discount. There is also the objective of actually raising enough money to fund the development of the project. However, in the current market, where many capped token sales meet their objective in a matter of hours, if not minutes, this is less of a concern.
​
Throughout the conference, we were given the opportunity to stimulate creativity, and encourage open innovation within our organization. The presentations by other speakers helped us to further understand next year's trends, crucial consumer insights, and the key ideas that are shaping the future. We have also learned how to outperform the market, and gain a better insight on how to profitably invest in NFTs.

​
​THE FUTURE IS NOW
​
To conclude, the exciting programmes throughout the three days allowed the spotlight to be shone upon digital ecosystem leaders and creators, leading-edge companies as well as talents, enabling all stakeholders to discover new perspectives on domestic and global trends in artificial intelligence, metaverse and NFTs. Our team at GUNFIE are grateful to be included in this insightful summit and we look forward to more conferences in the future.
