If you think the web transformed our lives, the 3D web – or metaverse - will do much more. Is your business ready to capitalise on this new technology? Digital leader and game developer Kelly Verso can tell you what’s hot and what’s not in the metaverse and makes the tricky subjects like AI or ML fun for teams to tackle.
Award-nominated and best-selling author, Kelly is an experienced and vibrant storyteller with an exceptional career in game development to speak about.
With 30 years in the industry, Kelly's contributions to franchises like Tomb Raider showcase her adeptness in gamification. As the Founder and CTO of the WEF award-winning start-up NAK3D, she seamlessly integrates luxury, games, and metaverses. Regularly featured in tech lists and futures lists Kelly has ten years in blockchain/NFT/crypto and is actively developing the metaverse for clients worldwide.
But Kelly's story doesn't end there. She wanted a job on a game called Halo 3. Joining the military to learn about trajectories, she learned ballistics and AI while navigating the challenges of being a woman in unique environments from the Balkans to Borussia Dortmund. To LA via Japan, her journey led her to encounters with rockstar royalty and a memorable meeting with her idol in William Shatner's bathroom.
Outside of her tech ventures, Kelly is an advisor to the WEF's metaverse committee and a competitive ballroom dancer, adding flair to the dance floor with quicksteps to Sisters of Mercy tunes.

"Kelly was fantastic! She was so engaging to listen to and having been an educator herself made her so credible to this audience. As someone who is still getting used to the metaverse, she made me feel more comfortable in it and excited about the possibilities for it. At least a few staff people said how she was their favorite part. And I told Kelly that there was at least one comment in the chat about how she was someone’s new favourite hero!"
