Organized by the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), The Dubai Metaverse Assembly is due to take place on the 28th and 29th of September 2022, launched by Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The assembly will host Facebook parent company Meta and representatives from the World Economic Forum, Mastercard, Emirates, and Accenture. 300 world experts and 40 specialist organizations will also be in attendance at an event that will take place in the Museum of the Future, next to the famous Emirates Towers.

“This global assembly will facilitate synergies amongst the most pioneering and innovative private and government entities, building exciting use cases in web 3.0 and the Metaverse. [the assembly will] bring together policymakers, academia, startups, and corporations to explore these technologies and their impact in the Metaverse,” says Dubai Metaverse Assembly’s director, Hamad Al Shirawi.

The overarching theme is centered around connecting real and virtual worlds, and workshops will advise participants on how to benefit from, and gain capital in the Metaverse to achieve an improved quality of life in both spheres of existence.

The Dubai Metaverse Strategy was announced two months ago by Dubai’s Crown Prince to boost the Emirates virtual footprint and prepare the UAE government for the emergence of the Metaverse by providing an outlet and forum for discussion and collaboration.
