We are happy to see that we have conveniently moved into the building where relevant experts in the next generation internet, AI, web3 and the metaverse come in regularly to network, host seminars, workshops, hackathons, and various corporate events.
Just yesterday we had global speakers come from South Africa, China, India, and other countries to talk about conscious leadership and how to navigate global crisis in an increasingly connected virtual world! Among the speakers were best-selling international business coaches Mike Handcock and Landi Jac as well as the Chief Data and AI officer from Huawei, Ashley Fernandez.
