ExCITE 2022 Into the Metaverse

Monrovia, CA | Friday, Dec 2nd, 2022

This event has concluded. Registration for ExCITE 2023 is now open >

FTSI is where innovative ideas take flight, so come fly with us into the Metaverse for ExCITE 2022! Join us in person for the first time in two years as we explore the interconnectedness of a virtual 3D world focused on social connection. Be prepared to immerse yourself in augmented and virtual reality as we launch together into the Metaverse.

As the metaverse grows, it will create online spaces where user interactions are more multidimensional than current technology supports. Instead of just viewing digital content, users in the metaverse will be able to immerse themselves in a space where the digital and physical worlds converge.

KEYNOTE: How Financial Institutions Can Evaluate and Implement Blockchain Solutions
