On Friday, September 30, 2022, SBM ITB held the first webinar on SBM ITB’s metaverse, SBMVERSE. Raising the topic of ESOP and Vesting for Startups, SBM ITB invited an investment professional at Alpha JWC Ventures, Dharmadi Gusanto, to share knowledge and experiences with TGL XIII participants and SBM students.
This webinar is unique and different from others. While other webinars are held offline or online via video calling applications, SBM ITB organized this webinar in its new metaverse. Participants also expressed their enthusiasm during the webinar.
“This webinar in the metaverse helps me focus more throughout the event. Usually, I’m a multi-task person while listening to webinars. However, it is different,” said one participant after the event ended.
In creating this metaverse, SBM ITB collaborated with RANS Entertainment to build the SBM building at RANSVERSE. The building itself is very detailed and built in such a way as to resemble the SBM ITB building. In addition, participants can even express their reactions by squeezing the gestures and gestures provided.
Dr. Dina Dellyana, the Director of The Greater Hub SBM ITB, stated that they are developing SBMVERSE gradually for other events in the future. According to Dina, SBMVERSE will most likely be used by SBM ITB students for guest lecturer sessions and auditorium classes in the future.
