In addition to the internal and external speakers of international stature who joined through the metaverse – there were also face-to-face and virtual exhibitors .

Thus , from any corner of the country , from the real or virtual world , the training week had more than 8000 interactions aimed at strengthening people ’ s skills and knowledge .
There was a space for everyone , according to their tastes , interests and availability .
Generational barriers vanished , the unique experiences , perspectives and skills of all generations , from baby boomers to Gen Z , intertwined to form a unique collaborative fabric .
The immersive experience in the Metaverse during this event allowed employees to absorb knowledge , connect with current work trends , and discover more about agile tribes .
