Web3 vs. the Metaverse with Sasha Pitkevich & Cristina Garcés

Web3 vs. the Metaverse with Sasha Pitkevich & Cristina Garcés

Do you need to figure out your organization’s Web3 and metaverse strategy? Is it possible that some reliable and clear information here would allow you to move forward? This episode of Silo Busting will be a tremendous help. Alexandra "Sasha" Pitkevich, EPAM’s Blockchain Lead, and Cristina Garcés, CEO of Optiva Media (an EPAM company), explain — in clear conversational language — how the two work together for businesses. They discuss that a virtual standalone community is not a metaverse, the vulnerabilities created by the metaverse as well as how these new online environments complicate data sharing and intellectual property rights. They introduce the central concept of interoperability and note the key role of community managers going forward. Listen and then take what you’ve learned back to your people.
