How to build a successful third web ecosystem using Blockchain, NFTs & Metaverse technology

With my team, using Unreal Engine 5, we built our own 3D immersive Metaverse spaces and for my presentation, I will have my avatar presenting in synch with me, while the background is moving in our 3D spaces, instead of boring 2D slides. Many projects and teams talk about web3 and metaverse, but we are here to showcase what's possible and what we've built so far. I've been fulltime in the blockchain and crypto space since 2016 and have been speaker at all the major events and stages in the world. This year our main project the APPICS app launched on the App Store & Google Playstore, we are among the top 3 social decentralized apps, so may talk will include explaining how web3 social media works, in combination with NFTs and moving towards more immersive experiences using Metaverse technology
