ICoME 2022 Hawaii Gather.Town & Zoom
To simulate a true conference experience, we will utilize a combination of two platforms, Gather.Town, a Silicon Valley popular Lo-Fi Metaverse featured by Forbes Magazine, and one of the best virtual communication tool, Zoom. Our Gather.Town is a virtual environment much like you see in an old-fashioned computer game. You will be able to navigate to all presentation sessions using your avatar in Gather.Town. Check it out at https://gather.town/.
