IT educational conference Synergy united more than 500 participants

This year, we have created a unique opportunity to participate in the innovative Metaverse space, which arouse much interest among our audience! Our partner DAN. IT Education hosted the stream “Education for adults: switches, new professions, effective educational trajectories” on the basis of its Metaverse college. The event united over 120 participants, 40 of them were present in the Metaverse. The visitors had the possibility to plunge into virtual space and attend the first college in Metaworld, create their own avatar, communicate and exchange of experience with colleagues and speakers from all over the world. For most of stream participants, it was the first experience with Metaverse, and people being engaged, staying through the event and willing to share their feedback afterwards. Definitely, gamification has a positive impact on keeping participants involved and motivated at such events.

This year Synergy 2022 stands outside of all annual conferences. And the key reason is that this conference starts being less academic, concentrating more on diversity of educational platforms and appealing directly to our target audience – people who would like to switch to IT. I witnessed brilliant speeches of my colleagues who contribute to our IT community growth and educating people and feel respect  and gratitude for their  inspiring speeches and advice one can take as a roadmap for switching to IT, – Kseniia Stolbova, CEO DAN.IT Education.
