Keynote

The Metaverse is uncharted territory for even the most seasoned executive. While many new opportunities exist within it, this never-been-seen-before frontier is already fraught with myths, regulatory challenges and the emergence of new platforms that operate in untraditional and unprecedented ways. This engaging talk is led by thought leader, Cortney Harding, who is also the Founder and CEO of a transformational VR/AR agency, Friends with Holograms, focused on creating innovative, powerful, and effective experiences for training. It’s crucial for audiences who need a more thorough understanding of this often bewildering space and the one-of-a-kind businesses that are already thriving. An entirely new vocabulary has already sprung up, and unless leaders feel comfortable translating it, they won’t be confident enough to embark on any ventures that can capitalize on the potential that is already clearly within reach.

Key Takeaways

  • How to strategically prepare for engagement in the Metaverse

  • Key questions that will affect how your company positions itself within the Metaverse

  • What are the myths vs. realities of this new frontier

  • The importance of translating and understanding the new Metaverse vocabulary

“Totally inspiring! After her talk I started creating communities in the metaverse and we’re seeing a lot of engagement.”
