Cyber Crime for Board Directors

Do you know what the “Mataverse” is? – In 2021, internet searches for the term “metaverse” increased by 7200%, and Mark Zuckerberg changed the name of Facebook to “Meta”. But what exactly is the metaverse? The metaverse is a vision of how the next generation of the internet will likely operate. According to McKinsey, it is something that we will be “immersed in” instead of something we just look at. It may realize the promise of vast digital worlds to parallel our physical one (e.g. virtual economies and games).

For marketers, the metaverse could represent a big opportunity to engage with consumers in entirely new ways. Roblox is a leading company in this arena with 50 million people engaging in their digital games every day. Last year Gucci drew 20 million visitors in just two weeks when it launched a metaverse version of its real world “Gucci Garden” on Roblox. So although widespread adoption of the metaverse will take some time, it’s worth keeping a close eye on it. So stay tuned…

This is a highly interactive course with public company directors and high quality attendees who are either on boards, or likely to land on boards. It is designed with relationship building in mind, not merely networking. 

Learning Objectives
