So how can you create value and grasp the opportunity? This presentation will guide you through the different layers of Web3 & the Metaverse and how you can leverage its potential to serve the next generation of customers, citizens and communities.

Prepare yourself for the promising future of the Metaverse generation and get ready to delight them.

BUILDING ENGAGED COMMUNITIES FOR GROWTH

The future of business will be heavily focused on building and maintaining strong communities. Organisations that prioritize fostering a sense of belonging and connection among their customers, employees, and other stakeholders will be the ones that thrive in the years to come.

The future of business lies in the 'CLG' (Community Led Growth) model, where the community is at the center of growth and decision-making. By putting the needs and desires of the community first, businesses can foster greater engagement and loyalty, leading to sustainable growth in the long term.

By looking at some of the most successful brand communities, business leaders can take inspiration and use them as a guide to implement the key elements of building a strong and vibrant community for their own initiatives.

LEVEL UP: WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE WORLD OF GAMES

The gaming industry is one of the fastest-growing and most innovative industries around today, with a global market size that is projected to reach over $300 billion by 2025.

Yet most business leaders know very little about the underlying mechanisms that make it successful and how to leverage those.

The gaming industry has come a long way since its early days, and it has grown into a massive global industry with a tremendous impact on culture, technology, and the economy.

In this presentation, Dado offers insight into the dynamics behind the innovation and the tactics that create strong, revenue-generating fan communities, and how to translate those towards your daily, non-gaming, business.
