Wagner James Au / New World Notes

Click here to RSVP for a Metaverse-based fireside chat happening October 21st at Noon PT with analyst and VC Matthew Ball, who has perhaps done more than anyone else to convey the value of virtual worlds and metaverse-related technologies to mainstream business audiences in recent years. Hosted in Breakroom, Sine Wave's metaverse platform for real events, this is also (I believe) the very first time that Matthew will discuss the Metaverse within a metaverse, in avatar form. 

My co-host for the event is The Washington Post's Gene Park, who along with covering the game industry for the US paper of record, also wrote one of the earliest in-depth articles on the new metaverse era for a major publication.

More details on Breakroom's event page. And as a warm-up to this literal (virtual) fireside, here's my series of posts analyzing Matt's epic Metaverse Primer, along with video of my last Breakroom fireside chat, with Philip Rosedale and Adam Frisby:
