MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Exciting news awaited brands seeking to delve into novel digital-first innovations. SVEN, the digital-first agency, has once more taken up the mantle of hosting an online conference, free of charge, in the ongoing year. The event, titled “The Current 2023: Metaverse and AI for Digital 1st Brand Breakthroughs,” promises to be an insightful gathering.
The Current is an evolution of SVEN’s Metacon PH: The First Metaverse Conference in the Philippines made for Brands. Originally created to immerse brands into the brave new world of the metaverse, the conference has now expanded to accommodate the rapid progress of technology and its latest digital innovations relevant to brands.
“We decided to rebrand Metacon PH to The Current to embrace advanced digital-first pursuits for brands that are driving the digital currents now. Today, that’s the Metaverse and AI,” shared Arvi Villacin, SVEN’s CEO and Innovation Officer. “At SVEN, we’ve started adopting our ways of work and play using different readily available AI and metaverse technologies, and we want brands in the Philippines to be able to do the same, to ultimately impact Filipinos both as workers and consumers.”
The Current 2023 sets sail starting August 30 until August 31. Supported by media partners adobo magazine, BitPinas, and The New Channel as well as its sponsors Mintoo, AAG Ventures, Heinz, and Philippine Airlines, the two-day conference will be livestreamed online for free.
This year’s conference invites brands to dive into The Generative World, where multiverses are instantly generated from zero to genius. What’s the deal with current talk on AI and the metaverse? Why is it important for brands to keep up with what’s happening in the digital landscape? Audiences can look forward to answers concerning these questions from brand and tech trailblazers, with the metaverse taking center stage on Day 1 and AI being the main focus of Day 2.
With brand showcases featuring SM Supermalls and Colgate-Palmolive, expert-led sessions from Ash Mandhyan (MetaverseGo!), Jim Guzman (Unilab and the Creator and Influencer Council of the Philippines), and many more, The Current is here to help brands navigate the currents of this unstoppable, ever-creating, and ever-evolving new world.
Moreover, this year’s conference has so much in store for its attendees, from free learnings to free treats, including mystery NFTs from SVEN’s very first NFT collection launched in collaboration with Mintoo: “UNDERDOGS:UNLEASHED.” Rooted in an advocacy that SVEN believes in, every individual who joins the conference on August 30-31 will get their own uniquely minted NFT that they can proudly own on the Mintoo platform.
