We live at a time when difficult and important decisions must be made to address human impact, and human-machine relationships, as the world as we know it is irreversibly changing. We dared our community to envision how the future might look, if humanity succeeded in solving major contemporary challenges” said Festival and FilmGate’s Co-founder/Executive Director, Diliana Alexander.

Both a promise and a punchline, the concept for some represents the future; for others, a fad or false start. What should we NOT do when building a metaverse? What does it really mean to be "metaversal"? Why are we experiencing these "empty world" problems? And where does Web3 and AR fit in? Panelists will discuss best– and worst!– practices for designing a metaverse, and shed some light on what is (and isn't!) next for this new paradigm.
