“Does the Metaverse make us happy?”

Speech Sarah Montani XDAYS

Experts and hackers shed light on current topics of digitalization at XDAYS 2022. The two conference days were dedicated to "Cyber Security" and "Metaverse". Sarah Montani answers the question of whether the Metaverse will make us happy - or not.

On the first day of the conference, participants gained insights into national and global cyber security, especially with regard to its crucial role during war. Ethical hackers showed how they support companies in fixing security vulnerabilities and executives discussed the role of the state regarding cybersecurity.

On the second day of the conference, participants immersed themselves in the metaverse. The speakers impressively illustrated the possibilities of this virtual parallel world and how important it is to jointly shape ethics, morals and principles of the Metaverse. For example, the audience gained insights into a future virtual high-end shopping mall with an immersive shopping experience, learned more about the opportunities of the virtual real estate hype, and delved into specific topics related to the day's theme in sessions. It becomes clear, Metaverse is the future, makes the internet more human while social media is increasingly losing importance.

XDAYS 2022 took place at Trafo Baden on July 5 & 6. Around 350 "Digital Movers & Shakers" met at the conference.
