About this event

Join techUK as we explore metaverse and web 3.0 technologies.

In this event, we will explore the business opportunities that will be unlocked by the convergence of web 3.0 and Metaverse technologies. From blockchain technologies that enable data ownership and peer-to-peer transactions, building immersive worlds in which we can socialise and collaborate, and the emergence of a digital asset economy, where virtual goods and experiences are tokenised, attendees will learn how these technologies will interact to spark innovative business models and new opportunities across sectors including retail, gaming and more.

This is your chance to begin preparing for this seismic shift in how customers and businesses perceive, engage and unlock opportunities online.

In addition to a networking session, there will also be a technology demo area in which companies at the forefront of metaverse technologies will provide in-person demonstrations for attendees.

You can find the featured speakers and agenda below.
