Event created by Helen Fisher
I would like to invite you to join an in-person event on Tuesday 31st January, 5:00pm-7:30pm, to explore: What is the point of the Metaverse? The event will be taking place in Plexal, located in the Here East Press Centre.
Hosted by Here East, the event will bring together leaders from business, government, and academia to explore the role the metaverse can play in creating new growth opportunities - from education and gaming to property development and placemaking.
After the hype of 2021 and the more sober analysis of recent months, the session will explore the practical applications of the ‘metaverse’ concept and how virtual environments could change the way we live and learn.
There’s a fantastic program for the evening, including a keynote from Amber Allen, CEO and Founder of Double A Labs discussing what businesses need to do to embrace the Metaverse.
There will also be a panel discussion hosted by Esther O'Callaghan OBE, founder of hundo.xyz with Dr Christina Yan Zhang, CEO at The Metaverse Institute, Dominic Dunn Principal Lecturer at Teesside University and Orfeo Nicolai, Software Design Director at D-Ford debating what exactly is the point of the Metaverse, and how it can contribute to the economy over the next five years.
The event will include light snacks and drinks. Please feel free to extend this invite to your wider network as it is open to all interested in exploring the metaverse.
