Metaverse Safety Week (MSW) 2022 takes place December 10-15, 2022. MSW serves as the annual international awareness campaign for bringing the world together to delve into the challenges posed by the Metaverse and how best to safeguard it. The campaign features industry leaders from across the globe and is held in an “exclusively created Virtual World.”
On day one of the week-long conference, Warner partner Brian Wassom will speak on the panel “Demystifying the metaverse: What is the Metaverse, and why does it matter? What should we know today for a better tomorrow?” There is a lack of consensus surrounding the baseline understanding of what risks and opportunities the Metaverse brings along with it; this panel will serve to create a common understanding across a multidisciplinary audience.
