Introduction:
At Get Real XR, we are committed to delivering immersive experiences that captivate audiences and drive meaningful impact. On Tuesday June 6th, we had the privilege of working with 1MillionStartups to host The SDG Road Metaverse, a groundbreaking one-day conference with the goal of highlighting over 30 innovative startups and entrepreneurial solutions for the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) established by the United Nations in 2015. The conference was hosted on Spatial, and combined Get Real’s expertise in creative design and strategic execution with the entrepreneurial spirit of the 1MillionStartups team to create a dynamic environment that engaged over 160 invitees – showcasing their commitment to sustainable development.
The Challenge:
1 Million Startups, a renowned organization dedicated to supporting and empowering budding entrepreneurs, sought to create an event that would highlight the work of entrepreneurs in meeting the 17 SDG’s established by the United Nations. Their team wanted a solution that would overcome the distance of a remote audience by engaging them in a customized virtual world that delivered an immersive and interactive experience that aligned with the overall mission of 1MillionStartups.
Our Solution:
Get Real XR worked with the 1MillionStartups team in the Spatial platform to create a virtual central hub space, alongside 10 individual themed breakout rooms corresponding to different SDG’s. In addition to the initial design planning of the conference environment, the Get Real team worked with 1MillionStartups to deliver several other key elements to the experience, including:
- Codeless Customization: With our technical expertise, we provided a series of codeless customization options which enabled easy iterations between the two teams to properly highlight the presentation assets of each startup company.
- Strategic Consulting: Get Real collaborated closely with 1MillionStartups to optimize a user experience for all attendees, including ease of movement, a 50 guest panel session, and an open networking session with SDG – focused PE firms.
- Technical Support: Get Real provided technical support throughout the planning, execution, and post-event stages – including pre-event training sessions for panelists and strengthening the platform knowledge of the 1MillionStartups team.
