The world’s first 24-hour Metaverse festival


Finally, the Metaverse is here. And you are invited to pioneer this incredible new terrain with us.

Despite the fact that everyone is talking about “the Metaverse”, only a few people have actually experienced it. That’s why we decided to make it a reality for all brands and interested parties during a game-changing event. Bringing everything you need to know about Web3, NFTs, creative technology, and next-gen marketing. 

Meta Festival combines work, play, connection and fun. From Asia to Europe to the United States. Each and every timezone will have featured content that’s relevant to them, from live entertainment to mind-blowing talks. Making it the place to be for anyone, everywhere, all over the world. 

Meta Festival takes place in a virtual world called Metapolis, a one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional world where you can stroll around, bust out your favourite dance moves, connect with other festival-goers and, of course, fly!

1 Metaverse, 10 inspiring stages, 100 of the world’s leading Web3 experts. And, most importantly, your own personalised virtual self. 

To visit Metapolis, you don’t need a plane ticket, a passport, or a visa. All you need is a smart device and a reliable internet connection. The future is here; see you there!

2021 has been a breakthrough year for cryptocurrency: 

• The long awaited Bitcoin ETF hit Wall Street
• NFTs took the world by storm!
• We saw our first major exchange go public via Coinbase.
• The first country, El Salvador, began to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender.
• The community began taking serious steps to address some of the major limitations facing adoption by focusing on blockchains that are both scalable and eco-friendly.

While 2021 was exciting, there is no doubt the industry will build upon this momentum in 2022. And, with so much potential and fast-growing expectations around the impact of cryptocurrency on society, 2022 will be a critical year for brands to get involved.
