HASELUENNE, GERMANY - Nearly fifty global leaders will speak on the evolution of the Internet at the upcoming Metaverse Summit 2007 - an interactive two-day conference to be held here at the Estrel Convention Center, December 6, 7. This premier event brings together futurists, venture capitalists, technology entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to explore social and economic trends of the 3D-Web and “immersive” computer applications.

Helmut Reul, organizer of the Metaverse Summit, explains, “The web is quickly moving away from its two-dimensional beginnings towards its virtual and 3D future. We’re all literally becoming surrounded by virtual enhancements to the real physical world in which we live. The Metaverse Summit 2007 was conceived to explore and shape this next generation of the Internet - the Metaverse - in all its manifestations.”

He continues, ”Together with our esteemed Advisory Board we have carefully selected speakers who have most-impacted the technology and business facets of this exciting new arena. For anyone interested in how the world around us is being impacted, this is a must-attend event!”

Registered participants from industry – and the general public at large – are invited to learn more about how the 3D-Web and Virtual Worlds are impacting the way we communicate, collaborate, work and live. Through conference presentations, panel discussions and interactive events, attendees will explore the challenges and opportunities these significant new fields create.
