Humans have been communicating and working together since the beginning of time. We smile, gesture, use our eyes, hands, and posture to communicate meaning. We come to life when we meet face-to-face. But being together face-to-face has become even harder in today's global environment.
How do you replicate that experience - not the exactness of it, but the essence of it - in a fully immersive experience? What are the pros and cons of the wide array of virtual interactions including avatars, holograms, blended experiences, 3D content, AI and digital twins.
In this talk, the leaders behind Webex Hologram, Elizabeth Bieniek, Director of Engineering Innovation, and Cullen Jennings, CTO/Fellow, share their insights from building the industry's first holographic collaboration system, what it's truly like to interact with holographic colleagues, and share their predictions on what the future in this space may hold for us all.

There is a lot of fear over web3’s jaw-dropping technology and AI’s weaponization, but the two technologies give way to transform the way we do business and how brands engage as partners. With the metaverse being the next generation of the Internet, brands can no longer think about marketing to customers, because web3 natives want to be a part of a community. These community members don’t want to be sold to, they want to be engaged and part of a brand’s journey. And these web3 users – emphatically -- don’t want brands to use and monetize them, community members want to monetize themselves. In the Anything Economy, there will be a massive shift for how brands work with their (no longer customers) community.
In this presentation, Deborah addresses how brands need to think different on how they engage with their community and enable ways for community members to influence and be decision-makers in the brand’s evolution.
Learning Outcomes:
• Learn the new technologies that will radically change the way we do business
• Shift your branding mindset from web 2.0 to web3
• Embrace the community-based platforms of Discord, Telegram and Twitter spaces.
