Kaylan Sliney is the co-founder and CEO of MAGNETIQ, the all-in-one digital platform transforming the brand-consumer relationship.

Kaylan is focused on driving seamless blockchain adoption, and believes the key is to start by simply making peoples' existing habits either easier or more enjoyable. She found her passion for entrepreneurship over her 15 years as a venture lawyer, and has been building in the blockchain space since 2017. Kaylan also advises over a dozen startups across a range of industries. And, after completing a handful of marathons, she finally (though begrudgingly) identifies as a "runner."

"Culture and community are the new differentiators in the age of digital commerce; and technology is no longer their cold, impersonal enemy."

Andy Lee

Counsel - Foley & Lardner
Proposed Session: The Regulatory Path Forward for NFTs

Andrew (Andy) Lee is of counsel at Foley & Lardner LLP, helping lead the firm’s Digital Assets, Web3, and NFTs (DAWN) team.
