Kieran Warwick

Kieran is a proven serial entrepreneur. Working alongside his brother Kain Warwick in e-commerce, Kieran was exposed to Bitcoin and Ethereum early on. His enthusiasm for the crypto space led to joining Blueshyft. While there, Kieran successfully onboarded major Australian Exchanges and started the world’s first OTC cryptocurrency exchange. With his background and interest in trading, Kieran wanted to pioneer a DeFi project that would be a game-changer (pun intended) for the industries it represented. With this in mind, he tapped his brother Aaron (Co-Founder/Game Designer) to develop what will be the first AAA gaming title on the Ethereum blockchain, and Illuvium was born.

What is the Metaverse? Besides a word that Mark Zuckerberg tried to claim as his own - the Metaverse includes a vast online (and offline) world of opportunities for connection, business and human experiences. Hear directly from a panel of creators in the Metaverse to see what they think will shape the landscape of the Metaverse and why it's important.

• Metaverse has become quite the buzz word. When is it launching? Are we close? Who is it for?

• What is the Metaverse and what elements of the physical and non-physical does it include?

• Who does gaming and entertainment fit into the Metaverse?

• The Metaverse: the next 10 years...the next 50 years
