The success of an immersive experience is ultimately driven by audience response. And it’s not just how many people engaged, but who they are, what they did while in the space, and what the outcome of their experience is. To drive resonance – and, ultimately, ROI –  for the project, you must be an active steward of the audience experience in close collaboration with those who best know the audience needs, wants and behaviors, and who will be responsible for supporting communications.

In our June 21 meeting, you will hear from communications industry veteran, Trish Nicolas, executive vice president for SPI Group. She will share learnings from recent VR and metaverse projects, as well as from her 35 years of experience leading communications strategy and storytelling initiatives.

As we all understand, Metaverse is a digital space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users. But what does Metaverse mean for Enterprises? Is Metaverse only for the gamers, or is it beyond gaming? Are Enterprises Metaverse ready? Who governs the Metaverse, and who defines the standards and protocols for Metaverse? How will Enterprises get benefited from using Metaverse? What will be the typical use cases for Enterprise Metaverse? 

We are sure many of you have these questions on your mind. So please come and join this panel discussion, co-hosted by VRARA Chicago & Silicon Valley Chapters. Our esteemed panelists are industry experts representing customers, different enterprise verticals, solution providers, platform providers, and technologies for Enterprise Metaverse.

The Growing Potential of the Metaverse for Enterprise

 Where have you seen the most growth in adoption, and where will you be looking to target in the near future?

 What do your customers love the most (and least) about your product?
