ARC Community is one of Asia's most curated members-only community, actively bridging the Web2 and Web3 world. We're connecting bold, open-minded individuals across the Global Asian Diaspora to come together to do things together, as a community. Our house rules are simple. We learn, have fun and co-create.

As the Web3 movement gains momentum in the region, ARC Community together with Financial Women Association (FWA) will like to bridge the many crypto-curious women in the Web2 space looking to be a part of the Web3 world. You are welcome to join this introductory session where ARC will open your eyes to the world of Web3 and NFTs with female panelists sharing their journey into Web3. Through this session, ARC Community and FWA hope to educate and empower women with the knowledge and tools into the Web3 Technology.
