The Metaverse: Are You Ready for Virtual Reality?

1 Clock Hour | Domain G: Meeting or Event Design 

Do you know what a Metaverse is? Have you ever experienced a virtual world? If you answered no to either of these questions, this session is a must attend. Virtual worlds allow meeting professionals to plan, design, and demonstrate their environments to potential clients. As virtual worlds mature, many will merge with other real world systems to become the "Metaverse" that combines an enhanced physical reality with a physically persistent virtual space. This session will illustrate what a Metaverse is and will allow attendees to explore them hands-on, and learn how they can be used in the meetings industry.

Learning Objectives:

• Participate in a virtual world, to help define the idea of a Metaverse
• Engage in activities designed for meeting professionals in a Metaverse
• Receive links to specific virtual sites and tools to help further their learning
