THE NET GALA is a one night engagement that brings technology and art together to celebrate innovation in an immersive, interactive environment.

Attendees of THE NET GALA span all kinds of technology and roles - software, hardware, cybersecurity, founders, tech-enabled artists, influencers and content, researchers, and media.
