Questions from the audience will drive the panel. This is an interactive experience rather than some old-school sage on the stage event. We might even invite some of you to step up on the virtual stage and share your experience, knowledge, and opinions. Expect to be involved.

We will move to a modern platform for networking and informal conversations. You’ll be able to talk with participants and continue to chat with panelists. We’re expecting a few more metaverse mavens to join us here.

We will have a good sized contingent from Switzerland, particularly Zürich where the organiser David Swaddle lives. As we’re online for this event people are welcome from everywhere. We will mostly be talking English for the evening.

** THE PANEL **
Nick Shackleton-Jones brings experience going back to setting up the BBC’s Second Life presence and more recent brushes with virtual worlds as both a consultant and CLO at Deloitte UK.

Prior to this, Sarah worked at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) for seven years as an Educational Developer. Coming from the public sector, Sarah looks for low-cost, open source, easy, and do-it-yourself solutions.
