Metaverse Discovery Day Director of Partnerships, Adam Portingale explains: “the Metaverse is now reaching the consciousness of organizations across all sectors, who are just beginning their own journeys of discovery into how they can expand their organizations, brands and stakeholders into the limitless possibilities that the Metaverse presents. By bringing in the leading experts from around the world, we can accelerate this process and share learning, strategy creativity and implementation to create the blueprint for how the Metaverse will become part of the 2030 Vision.”

McKinsey research recently forecasted that that the potential economic value of the Metaverse could generate up to $5 trillion by 2030 ,and it is this economic potential that is driving organizations to develop their own Metaverse Strategies. The program of the Metaverse Discovery Day includes Global Case Studies where attendees will understand and learn how different sectors are defining new customer experiences. This sharing of experience and transfer of learning across sectors is a key objective of the Metaverse Discovery Day.

place, and it is envisaged that every major global city will have a digital twin in the Metaverse. Hazam Fayyad, Founder, Transformology XR explores the technology needed to achieve a digital twin city whilst highlighting examples from across the world.
