Gutenberg gave us print. It took centuries for our next great form of mass communication to arrive with Graham Bell's telephone. But soon after was Marconi's radio, Lumiere's film, Farnsworth's television, Berners-Lee's Internet, and now, the Metaverse. The pace of innovation is accelerating and the Metaverse will be our next great leap. Its pioneers, inventors, and leaders will be celebrated at Meta Entertainment World, and they, in turn, will inspire the next generation.
Join us in Monaco, May 23-24 and see how the Metaverse will change the way we live, work and play!
