Description

In a world where the COVID pandemic has deprived the public of live music and where artists have had to invent new ways of communicating online with their audience, it is not difficult to imagine that the future of concerts could be through virtual worlds.

The catalyst for this massive market opportunity is rooted in how habits have changed in 2020. During COVID, everyone has become a digital native. Musicians are looking for new ways to reach their audiences and vice-versa. As social platforms with the built in mechanisms for engagement that concert goers crave, games presented an opportunity for a new type of virtual music experience as an extension of the live music circuit.

As we enter into this rapidly emerging virtual concert market, games and music are intersecting more and more where just as we’re defining what the metaverse is, we’re also defining what virtual concerts are as these two industries converge.

In this one of a kind panel, we hear from Mavericks at the forefront of the gaming and music industry, and from the venture capitalist perspective to better understand where the cross section of these industries is at, and what it means for the future of these industries, their respective stakeholders and you.

It’s when technology is in the hands of the artists that we see the most exciting future that stimulates innovation, conversation, and audience-first designs that are leading towards a vibrant 1:1 digital twin of the music industry in the Metaverse. Whoever gets this next move right in this space is going to win big.
