The benefits of four full days On Site
News | 25.04.2024
HELLO EVERYONE,
Half of FMX is still ahead of us - which means we will be treated with about as many highlights as we already have been able to enjoy at the conference. Or miracles, 🔮 as some are putting it. At the School Campus, we have witnessed an inspiring discussion about AI and what its impact means for education. We also have heard what the metaverse might be looking like very soon. Here's our reel from Day 2, here the on from Day 1.!
And the Forum feels just like old times: back to four days On Site with interactions in flesh & blood, everyone seems to have more time for breathers in between intense Workshops or business negotiations. When there's more time for relaxed chatting, there's more room for ideas to come up and to connect.
Here's a selection of events most probably worth giving a shot on Day 3 of FMX 2024:
