Advance announces the 2nd edition of “MEWS”: Celebrating creators, companies, and communities in metaverse

The MEWS, a metaverse event, will host the second edition of its business-to-business (B2B) event of the year for the international metaverse and web3 community from May 3 to 5, 2023. 

It will kick off this year’s season of sports, entertainment and philanthropy events on the Cote d’Azur, including Monaco’s Formula E and Grand Prix Formula 1, ATP Rolex Tennis Masters, the Cannes Film Festival, and AmFar Gala, setting eyes on Monaco. 

The MEWS’ success in 2022 reflects the growing number of governments, companies, and institutions choosing Monaco as a place for exchange. Last year, Monaco welcomed 200 international delegates from over 40 countries, ten global sponsors, and about a dozen exhibitors, partners, and metaverse business cases, including 39 speakers. In 2023, it will present its latest developments, including web3 products and services, to an audience of 250 attendees. 

The MEWS is under the high patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. 

The MEWS Summit 2023 will be at a new venue, One Monte-Carlo. Due to the success of our inaugural edition and delegate demand, they are pleased to announce an additional day exclusively dedicated to various topics such as investments for start-ups, monetization, law and regulation, and education. 

Imagining and building the future worlds in space, one of their metaverse partners will introduce an Avatar Conference, recreated in Monaco’s most beautiful Art Deco Location, the Salle Belle Epoque, at the Hotel Hermitage. 

The MEWS presented their first virtual press conference in the “Penthouse Showroom” by Exclusible. It will partner with the NOWHERE metaverse for 2023.
