John Warner

John Warner

I have a lifetime of great experience as a serial innovator riding waves from scrappy startups of companies, academic centers, not-for-profits, and a government agency to the New York Stock Exchange.

I co-founded Capital Insights, which became one of the country’s largest angel groups. I was Chairman of Earth Fare, which grew into the country’s largest regional organic grocery chain.

As Vice President of Strategy at KEMET, I was the point person with Wall Street analysts during the chaos of the 2000 internet tsunami. I was the architect of InnoVenture and InnoMobility conferences, with anchors including Michelin, Milliken, Sealed Air, GE, Blue Cross, and others.

I've been on SC Public Radio for two decades. My community leadership has included being a founding board member of Artisphere, a nationally acclaimed arts festival, and the SC Venture Capital Authority, a pioneering agency promoting venture capital, and being part of the community conversation leading to CU-ICAR.

Eleonora Brizi

Eleonora Brizi

Eleonora Brizi is a digital and crypto art curator previously based in New York, Rome and Beijing, now indefinitely living in the Metaverse.

She graduated and specialized in contemporary Chinese art and later started her new path dedicated to art and technology in New York, combining her knowledge of the art world with the need – of the art itself – to speak the language of the time, where the current dialogue is digital and technical.

Before landing in the world of art and tech, Eleonora spent six years in Beijing, China, where she worked for four years as an assistant to artist Ai Weiwei and two years as a representative in China under the curator Jerome Sans. In 2018, she studied blockchain technology and its application to art in New York. Here, following her art curator career in China, she became very active in the flourishing crypto-creative community, curating, promoting, and participating in many Crypto Art pioneer projects.

Also in 2018, she founded Breezy Art, a web3 art curation brand and habitat for digital and NFT art. Breezy Art exists at the crossroads of Art and Technology, investigating the spirit of our time. It promotes digital art and crypto art (NFTs) through curation and content creation.

Curation is the process by which art finds its voice and value. Breezy ensures that each project has its own unique curation, every artist has their story told, and every artwork finds its chapter in our narrative universe.
