significantly, and the creation of the virtual environments (i.e., metaverse)
is one of the latest innovations that is set to revolutionize how we interact,
process, and connect our real-life to other lifes. With the metaverse, we are
presented with a new realm that blurs the lines between the physical and
digital world, providing a new space for communication, commerce, services, and
entertainment.</p>

Metaverse Technologies & Applications (iMeta) is to bring together leading
researchers, academics, and industry experts to explore the various aspects of
the distributive metaverse, including its technologies, applications, and
implications for various industries. Attendees can expect to participate in
exciting keynote speeches, panel discussions, and presentations on cutting-edge
research field. Throughout the conference, there will be ample opportunities for
attendees to network, share their knowledge, and collaborate on future initiatives
that will drive the development of the metaverse forward. We are confident that
iMeta conference will inspire new ideas, foster innovation, and spark
collaborations that will push the boundaries of the metaverse and its potential
to change the world as we know it.</p>

attendees with comprehensive understanding of the communication, computing, and
system requirements of the metaverse. Through keynote speeches, panel
discussions, and presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to engage
with leading experts and learn about the latest developments and future trends
