Closing notes
Back to our regular schedule this week. And it’s been great to be out and about this week. I was at FUTR conference on Friday in London. Some great content and conversations relating to retail, commerce and marketing, and conversational AI (of course).
However, the big chat was obviously about the metaverse. I’d love to discuss commerce and conversational ai in the metaverse a bit more. Anybody got any content they can point me towards?
I’ve actually started donning my Oculus 2 more and more recently. I’m still not sure how walking around in Horizon Venues is a good experience of the Metaverse, so if anybody can give me any pointers on how to really start exploring properly, then feel free to drop me a line.
I’m hoping that this newsletter keeps building and improving with every issue. Let me know your thoughts, feedback and ideas of what you want to see by DM on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram or even TikTok (not that I have worked that one out yet!).
Have a great week ahead!
