The conference, which will be held over a two-day period, is expected to be the most advanced, impactful, immersive tech and growth conference granting participants access to Virtual Reality Rooms, GameFi platforms, and interactions within different metaverse worlds. While the existing metaverse industry has been described as “basic and weird” due to nascent technology and adoption, it’s expected to have a profound impact on gaming, social interaction, education, and arts. The marriage between metaverses and NFTs is inevitable since the metaverse NFTs will power the next growth cycle in digital collectables on the internet. We have also seen huge investments by bigtechs like Microsoft, Meta, NVIDIA, HTC, and Apple into VR, AR, and other XR hardware, pointing to a huge potential in the Virtual worlds. Moreover, over 5 million people currently log in to the metaverse and virtual world, creating and participating in the metaverse economy valued at over $825 Billion! This year’s conference theme is: Immerse and Grow in FutureTech. Expected to chair this year’s conference is Mr Stanley Jacobs, former Business Development Manager for MasterCard Africa, VP FintechNGR, and Chief Executive at Stanbic IBTC Financial Services Limited. The Special guest of honour will be Mr Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, Hon. Director General National Agency for Technology Development NITDA, Prof. Pat Utomi, Founder/ CEO, Centre for Values in Leadership (CVL), Founding Senior Faculty, Lagos Business School-Pan African University, is expected to deliver the Keynote address.
