- WoW Gala Lisboa promises to whisk attendees away to a colorful world of wonder, dancing the night away in true 2020s style.
London, April 22nd — World of Women (WoW) invites you to step into “WoW Gala Lisboa: Feathers, Fizz & Freedom” — an immersive celebration where technology meets artistry in the historic halls of Palacio do Grilo, during NFC Lisbon on June 5, 2024.
After bringing bioluminescence to Paris and galactic glamor to Miami, WoW’s flagship Gala returns with the vibrant energy and spirit of the new roaring twenties. Set within the magnificent 18th-century palace known for its rebellious history and artistic significance, WoW Gala Lisboa promises to whisk attendees away to a colorful world of wonder, dancing the night away in true 2020s style.
“WoW Gala Lisboa isn’t just another crypto gathering—it’s a complete experience that unfolds as you move through the palace’s ornate chambers,” said Taisia Antonova, WoW CEO.
Guests will weave through the palace’s grand corridors and intimate chambers, where avant-garde digital installations harmonize with centuries-old baroque splendor. The evening’s soundscape features Brazilian sensation Venga Venga, whose boundary-breaking DJ sets transcend music to become multi-sensory journeys blending performance art, poetry, and visual stimulation—creating moments of collective euphoria that must be experienced to be believed.
The pulsating energy continues with acclaimed DJ P.H.I.L.O.U, whose intoxicating sets have commanded some of electronic music’s most prestigious stages, including Tomorrowland Winter and Extrema, where she’s shared billing with legends like Paul Kalkbrenner and elevated The Gardens of Babylon. The evening’s sonic tapestry will be further enriched by local artist Anya, artist and WoW holder NOANNE, and the sophisticated tones of a live jazz band, with more artists and a headliner to be announced as June approaches.
“We’re reimagining what creative freedom meant in the 1920s for today’s digital pioneers, creating a space where women can forge new connections and pathways in Web3.”, said Jordan Zucchiatti, WoW Artistic Director.
Following previous years’ sold-out extravaganza—which drew influential figures including entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, sports analyst Ros Gold-Onwude, tastemaker Guy Oscar, investor Eunice Wong, and The Sandbox co-founder Sebastien Borget—WoW Gala Lisboa is poised to be the crown jewel of NFC Lisbon’s social calendar.
The event coincides with alarming new data from the 2024 State of Crypto report by Gemini, which reveals female cryptocurrency holders have decreased from 42% in 2022 to just 31% today. Similarly, recent research shows companies founded solely by women receive a mere 2% of venture capital dollars, despite women starting twice as many new businesses as men between 2019 and 2023.
In response to these challenges, WoW Gala Lisboa marks a historic first—opening ticket sales to non-WoW NFT holders. After a year of strategically shifting its social media presence to focus on broader women’s issues and attract Web2 audiences, WoW is now creating a bridge for these followers to experience Web3 culture firsthand through this premier event.

The WoW Gala Lisboa arrives at a pivotal moment in World of Women’s evolution. In June 2024, WoW announced its strategic move to the Tezos ecosystem, building on Etherlink—an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups technology. The organization continues to create new pathways to success for women in Web3 through initiatives like its recent Sara Baumann portrait series celebrating women builders, with over $3 million deployed to nonprofits and support for 500+ artists, WoW’s commitment to reshaping the digital landscape extends far beyond its celebrated NFT collections.
