Meta and the European Disability Forum are pleased to invite you to a discussion and networking drink on the 6th of December from 16:30 to 18:00 at Avenue d’Auderghem 22, Brussels (please register).
It is key to build diversity, equity and inclusion into the metaverse from the get go. Together with Meta, we look forward to discussing the impact the metaverse can have on those with a disability.
After the discussion, participants are warmly invited to enjoy a drink and browse the Innovation House.
This event is organised in the framework of The Meta Innovation House, a two-week pop-up experience in Brussels. Running from 28 November to 8 December attendees can learn more about technology thanks to a vibrant programme of meetings and events, as well as demonstrations in augmented and virtual reality, contributed by partners and Meta.
This event will provide real-time captioning in English and interpretation to International Sign.
