The 2022 First Tianfu Metaverse Conference, hosted by Sichuan Tianfu 
International Convention and Exhibition Co and organized by the Tianfu 
Metaverse Industry Association, was held in the Sichuan Tianfu New Area on May 
5.

Representatives of domestic and foreign enterprises, associations, and 
government departments, as well as experts and scholars, were invited to the 
conference to share their insights into the future development of the 
metaverse, display technology and products related to the metaverse, and 
promote the development of the metaverse industry.

The conference was held both online and offline and displayed a new vision of 
the metaverse that is digital, virtual, interactive and immersive.

By using digital-twins technology, the organizers replicated a meeting hall of 
the Tianfu International Convention Center in a virtual venue, offering an 
immersive experience of an online conference.

The event also consisted of an online exhibition area to display the new 
technologies, new products and new applications of 19 enterprises focusing on 
the metaverse.

The online participants are allowed to choose their own avatar and appear at 
any part of the venue at any time to take part in multiple activities such as 
speeches and exhibitions.

During the conference, 12 metaverse research institutes were officially 
established under the Tianfu Metaverse Industry Association to encourage 
scientists, entrepreneurs and artists to explore the metaverse ecosystem and 
promote the implementation of the metaverse in society.

The institutes will focus on fields including conventions and exhibitions, 
artificial intelligence, robotics, digital art, network security, and smart 
living.

To further boost the development of the metaverse industry, an opportunity list 
was released at the conference, introducing a batch of new projects in the 
metaverse industry with a total investment of 1 billion yuan ($150.2 million).

Officials said the projects will help explore how to make use of the metaverse 
and promote the transformation and upgrading of the real economy, turning the 
Tianfu New Area into a national metaverse pioneer.
