WORK 3.0: THE FUTURE IS NOT EMPLOYMENT, IT'S THE METAVERSE

To understand the impact of the Metaverse on the future of work, we need to look no further than the current pains of the distributed workforce and observe the solutions a virtual world of work can provide, but we’ll need to adapt an entirely new mentality. It’s not about the antiquated concepts of employee engagement, making work “more human,” or even designing a better employee experience. It’s about realizing a new framework for work made possible by blockchain technology, cryptonetworks, and smart contracts. This keynote provides a tangible starting point and explains the Metaverse simply. It's time to give workers greater ownership, flexibility, and agency in the way they contribute to society.
