The 9th IEEE Conference on Network Functions Virtualization and Software-Defined Networking (IEEE NFV-SDN 2023) will be an in-person event in 2023. The conference will be from 7-9 November 2023 in Dresden, Germany.

We are entering the time of the metaverse, and while there has been much attention to how it will affect consumers, it has the potential to redefine how enterprises disrupt their industries. The metaverse is on the horizon, affecting industries as diverse as healthcare, tax and accounting, law, fashion, and entertainment. According to McKinsey, in the first five months of 2022 alone, more than $120 billion have been invested in building out metaverse technology and infrastructure. Early forms of enterprise solutions within the metaverse are already on the market, and Citi has estimated a market between $8-13 trillion by 2030. Thus, now is the time to start thinking about how this new wave of online interaction can benefit your business. In the past year, almost $2 billion have been spent on virtual real estate by large and small companies racing to get into the metaverse. Enterprise Metaverse Expo helps decision-makers, technologists, and developers understand the value of the metaverse for their businesses regardless of industry.
