January 31 2022* at *09:00-12:30 AST* (13:00-16:30 UTC) the *Caribbean

<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-14/barbados-tries-digital-diplomacy-with-planned-metaverse-embassy>*
in the metaverse. It is *estimated
<https://www.strategyanalytics.com/access-services/media-and-services/virtual-and-augmented-reality/reports/report-detail/summary-covid-19-impact-on-ar-and-vr>*
that by 2025 the global metaverse market will be worth 280 billion US
dollars. This webinar will enable discussion that will assist in the
formulation of policy, legal and regulatory issues in an effort to educate
and raise awareness of the opportunities and challenges for, in particular,
small island developing states (SIDS). This will allow the relevant
stakeholders to advance regional initiatives and make the necessary policy
interventions in the interest of ensuring the Caribbean is poised to
provide global leadership in this emerging technological space.
