This event assembles experts and thought leaders from diverse fields such as Web3, gaming, fashion, art, and robotics.

Among the over 40 speakers, notable names include Dr. Ben Goertzel of Singularity.NET, Yasmina Benkhoui from NVIDIA, and Decentraland’s Executive Director, Yemel Jardi.

Discussing the origins of the event, Justin Edwards, the founder and CEO of Verse Digital, stated: “As we partnered closely with Innovation City and Metaverse Land Company to develop Sophia the Robot’s Sophiaverse Headquarters, we all believe that the metaverse needs an AI conference. Decentraland has been busy developing its own AI capabilities, so we were eager to work with Sam Hamilton and the team to devise a compelling program of talks and exhibits.”
