Embark on a tech-driven journey with DNA Croatia’s Metaverse Live Show, featuring Aragorn Meulendijks (ItsMrMetaverse). Powered by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Telemach Hrvatska, and Saltwater Nomads, this immersive event at Zagreb’s Kaptol Boutique Cinema unveiled the transformative power of the metaverse, Web3, AI, VR, AR, and more.
Last Thursday, the Digital Nomad Association Croatia hosted a unique event at the Kaptol Boutique Cinema in Zagreb. Powered by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Telemach Hrvatska, and Saltwater Nomads, the event delved into the unknown realms of the metaverse, Web3, AI, VR, AR, and beyond. Attendees enjoyed a captivating presentation by the renowned speaker and metaverse-expert Aragorn Meulendijks, widely known as ItsMrMetaverse, who also was recently our latest Dubrovnik Digital Nomad Ambassador. The event, which invited audience participation and interaction, left attendees with an enriched understanding of the potential and significance of cutting-edge technologies.
ItsMrMetaverse graced the event with an enlightening talk that spanned nearly two hours. Through a visually stunning presentation, he unveiled the past, present, and future of revolutionary technologies. His expertise and ability to engage with the audience created an immersive experience, allowing attendees to delve deeper into the metaverse, Web3, AI, VR, AR, and various other transformative technologies. ItsMrMetaverse’s trademark interactive approach kept the audience actively involved, creating a dynamic atmosphere of learning and discovery.
Though some attendees arrived with skepticism or limited knowledge (some even with fear!), the event proved to be an eye-opening experience for all. ItsMrMetaverse’s thought-provoking insights and explanations dismantled preconceived notions and ignited a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm. As the evening unfolded, attendees developed a newfound appreciation for the power and potential of AI and related technologies. The event not only broadened horizons but also inspired individuals to explore and embrace the digital landscape.
The lively discussion and impressive lecture of Aragorn Meulendijks, a.k.a. Mr. Metaverse, from the Netherlands was an excellent opportunity to dive into the new reality of AI and the opportunities that cutting-edge transformative technologies provide. I believe the participants left the event energized with a better understanding of what the future brings in terms of AI. We can proudly say that the Netherlands invests a lot in the fixed broadband speeds, hosting high-tech producers and semiconductor industry. Consequently, it is ranked as the country most ready for the Metaverse. The Embassy of the Netherlands in Zagreb congratulates the Association of Digital Nomads for the initiative to bring Aragorn Meulendijks and the IMM team to Dubrovnik and Zagreb and on the good cooperation we have had so far.
