About the Event
We are rapidly approaching the "meta-age" where we increasingly rely on virtual environments to work, play and socialize. Anything we do in the real world will have a "digital twin" in the metaverse – virtual spaces, buildings and even cities. This has led to many asking the question "Does virtual land have value and what is that based on?"
Many have jumped on the trend including PwC, HSBC and JP Morgan, who have already invested in plots of virtual land. So is this an opportunity to invest in the hottest and newest digital assets before they blow up? Or are you better off keeping your distance from what may end up being an over-hyped bubble that's about to collapse?
WHAT TOPICS WILL BE COVERED?
- Explanation of the Metaverse and underlying technology
- Examples of recent activity and transactions in the metaverse
- Possibilities in the metaverse – what are companies doing and what implications does that have for what might happen next
