  • “The Metaverse” may be the future, but what is it? While Mark Zuckerberg hopes you’ll never leave your home again, in reality, the next generation of the Internet will beckon us outside, into a world in which information is everywhere — if you can see it.

    Welcome to the real-world metaverse, where you can change reality like changing a channel. How will this change our relationship with each other and to the world? How will these reality channels transform where we live, how we shop, and how we move through enchanted worlds? Drawing on his “Metaverse Metropolis” project at Cornell Tech university.

    Greg Lindsay offers real advice and lessons from the technologists, designers, and experts building this real-world metaverse.

Testimonials

I had the pleasure – and disadvantage! – of following Greg as a speaker at a conference devoted to the future of work in May. His presentation was sharp, incisive, and provocative – so much so that I immediately booked him to speak at my own event in New York next year. I can’t wait to hear what he comes up with next.

Worktech/Unwired Ventures

Greg has never let me down. He is without doubt my go-to-moderator for an entertaining and informative panel discussion! His prep work with the speakers and about the topic and audience is efficient and effective which on the day results in a rich discussion around the room, not just on stage. Thank you Greg!
