Peter Meere Co-Founder of MET AMS: “Developments within Web3 are moving at a fast pace. Outside of Europe, there are many events and conferences that deal with the subject of the Metaverse. We want to ensure that Europe doesn’t lag behind. MET AMS is there to keep Europe informed and ahead of developments within tech, the metaverse, NFTs, and Web3.”
The metaverse through a cultural lens
MET AMS is the first metaverse festival in Europe that looks at the metaverse through a cultural lens. Metaverse events often attract tech enthusiasts, crypto fanatics and web3 enthusiasts, but MET AMS provides a broader audience with insight into what the metaverse means for topics such as art, music, fashion, and sustainability. The festival introduces visitors to various aspects of the metaverse.
From how NFTs impact culture, education, and healthcare to other important topics such as diversity, inclusiveness, and privacy in this new Web3 era. The festival will bring the groundbreaking Web3 and metaverse technologies to life in a special way, allowing visitors to experience this new digital world for themselves firsthand.
Edmund Howard Co-Founder of MET AMS about the event: “There are many blockchain, tech and crypto events that are interesting for a limited number of people. The metaverse and everything that comes with it will have an impact on everyone’s lives in the future. That is why we’ve organized MET AMS and created an event that appeals to the masses.”

Brands, musicians and artists can show their own take of the metaverse through immersive experiences that they design and showcase themselves. These will include digital art exhibitions, light shows, virtual, -and augmented reality experiences that broaden the view of visitors and sharpen their senses.
