The Metaverse and what it means for brands

The Metaverse has been a buzz word even before Mark Zuckerberg changed his company’s name to Meta,  but what does it actually mean for brands advertising today and for the future of advertising?

Some brands are dipping their toe in the virtual waters, some have dived straight in and some are unsure whether this is the shape of things to come or just a house built on sand.

To address some of the questions about the Metaverse, ISBA has brought together a range of Metaverse experts who will each give their view on what’s hot about the Metaverse and also what to watch out for.

In this three hour in- person session at ISBA’s offices, followed by lunch,  you can immerse yourself in all things Metaverse, chat with peers about what they are doing in this space and get inspired.
