Join us for a conversation about disability in Web3 and the metaverse.

We are in the midst of a new era in web content and connection. Web3 aims to make the world wide web less monopolized by Big Industry, less biased, and embrace globalization and modernization. In that endeavor, advocates across industries have worked diligently to make accessibility and inclusion a key foundation of the Web3 future. Join us Thursday, November 10th from 7 PM - 8:30 PM ET for a discussion with a panel of influential people leading the movement. Topics discussed will range from a variety of insights into Web3 and NFTs, how access and inclusion can be implemented as it evolves, and how each of us can create a lasting impact. Our panelists include: <ul><li>Ava Halvai, (she/her) Founder ARTXV</li><li>Giselle Mota, (she/her) Futurist, Creator, NFTY Collective</li><li>Paula Carozzo, (she/her) Inclusive Activist, Inclusive Collective</li><li>Glen Gilmore, (he/him) Tech &amp; Travel Influencer</li></ul>Where: A Zoom link will be emailed to you 15 mins before the event begins.This event will also be recorded and the recording will be shared with registered attendees after the event.<h2>Sliding scale tickets</h2>We are offering ticket fees on a sliding scale basis.
