From Jules Verne to Philip K. Dick to Neal Stephenson, science fiction has sold us the idea of living in a world other than the one we inhabit today - either real, virtual, or somewhere in between.

Join some of the top creative technologists today in a discussion on the Metaverse and what it means for our world, business, and culture.
