Meet me in the Metaverse! The Platform for the Digital Economy.

We would like to invite you to join a career session with guest speaker Bashar Kilani the Managing Director at Accenture, on the topic "Meet me in the Metaverse! The Platform for the Digital Economy".

Significant cultural shifts tend to start in a place—like Renaissance Florence, Vienna in the 1900s, and the Swinging Sixties in London. The location for the next one is the metaverse… While we’re seeing mass adoption of the metaverse in the gaming community, others are experiencing it in different ways. For some, the metaverse is becoming a new place to make money. The “creator economy” is expanding in definition to encompass different types of future metaverse employment: “creators” will make assets; “performers” will create real-time content; “bridgers” will connect the physical to the digital world; “participants” will learn, explore and enhance; “builders” will design and organize experiences; the community will help, attract and engage.
