Rotterdam & Metaverse

28 november 2023 @ 10:00 12:00

‘Rotterdam & Metaverse’ is going to be the first track on the opening day of Immersive Tech Week in Rotterdam at the Juriaanse Zaal on 28 November from 10:00 to 12:00!

Immerse yourself in the latest developments around VR, AR, MR & AI and discover what these transformative technologies can do for our city and its citizens.

Our physical world and our digital world are coming closer and closer together, bringing along enormous opportunities but also various challenges. The City of Rotterdam is a pioneer of this digital decade, daring to co-create an open urban platform and ecosystem to empower new ways of living, working and playing together.

We are honoured to shape, co-organize and host the ‘Rotterdam & Metaverse’ track at Immersive Tech Week again this year. Currently we’re putting together an amazing program consisting of inspiring perspectives and practical use cases to make sure you’ll have a great time and are fueled up for the future.

And since the City of Rotterdam is a prominent partner of Immersive Tech Week, there will be much more to explore throughout the week.

What is the event about?

Our physical world and our digital world are coming closer and closer together, bringing along enormous opportunities but also various challenges. The City of Rotterdam is a pioneer of this digital decade, daring to co-create an open urban platform and ecosystem that empowers new ways of living, working and playing together.

In this two-hour session, we will look back at what has already been achieved, involve you in the latest developments and use cases and of course take a sneak peek into an exciting future. We’re proud to present an inspiring program with a variety of speakers and perspectives. 

We recommend you to also stick around after this event and visit us at the ‘Playground’ for an engaging conversation and to immerse yourself in what’s ahead in areas like VR, MR and other transformative technologies that enhance the quality of life in our city and communities.
