It is also expected to be held at the same venue as the previous event – 155 Bishopsgate in London and will also feature more presentations and panels from more industry experts and leaders.
As at the time of writing, there have been no information or indications that the previous speakers at the Enter the Metaverse event in 2022 will still speak on major panels in the upcoming event this year.
But, we are sure that the topics to be addressed in the event will feature the latest developing advancements and technologies that have been making the rounds in the metaverse, such as the introduction of AI.
Also, just like the previous event addressed the challenges faced in the metaverse, there are also expectations that the topics to be covered during the timeframe of this two-day event will once again challenge these developments.
Some of them include the scalability of the metaverse infrastructure, interoperability between different virtual and gaming worlds, user identity and data privacy concerns, equitable access to the metaverse for all users, and the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to enhance user experiences and interactions within the virtual environment.
There are also some concerns about giving a virtual access to those who may not be able to travel to the physical event. We expect that the event to be held later this year will give special virtual access to those that may not be able to travel to London.
Any other plans to the success of Enter the Metaverse London 2023 will be handled by the organizers accordingly.
