The Seminaris Hotels and the berliner team invite you to the 41st Leadership Lounge “science meets economy”
“Be Part of the Metaverse – waiting for the iPhone moment!”
Networking event on March 02, 2023, from 6 p.m. at the SEMINARIS CampusHotel Berlin-Dahlem
(You will find the registration form at the bottom!)
Behind us are 40 exciting Leadership Lounges in 13 years, lots of fun and spectacular exchanges! Now the 41st Lounge is in the starting blocks!
And that’s what it’s all about
As digitalization progresses, terms such as “metaverse“,“virtual reality” and “augmented reality” are being used more and more frequently, “New Internet” or “parallel worlds”. Opinions on these developments are controversial! But one thing is indisputable: these new technologies are currently on everyone’s lips! We have also become curious and would like to take a closer look at these trends at our next Leadership Lounge.
What exactly is the metaverse? How did it come about? What possibilities does the metaverse offer us – privately and at work? How is it perhaps already being used and how could it be used in the future? What is the best way to approach this highly complex topic approach? You can find out this and much more at our next Lounge!
Sounds exciting doesn’t it? But it gets even better…
Your live experience in three-dimensional space
As a special highlight, at our next Leadership Lounge you will have the opportunity to put on the VR glasses yourself and enjoy a virtual reality experience to start. You shouldn’t miss out on this!
Please note:
Unfortunately we can only offer a limited number number of participants for the VR sessions, so be quick and secure your place: Be quick and secure your place! Simply select the appropriate option when you register.
To ensure that each participant has enough time, we have divided the VR experiences into two time blocks planned. One starts at 5 pm and the second around 20:30. If you are attending the session at 5 p.m., you will have to come to the SEMINARIS CampusHotel Berlin a little earlier. But it’s definitely worth it, isn’t it?

Ticket Present: 40 Euro incl. delicious food and drinks and VAT.
If you decide to take your chance and start a VR experience, we charge an additional 25 euros for our expert and the equipment.

What is behind the Leadership Lounge concept?
In 2009, in cooperation with the SEMINARIS Hotels, we launched the “Leadership Lounge – science meets economy” was founded. Since then, we have been inviting managers, human resources and academics to our networking event in Dahlem three times a year. After work, an exciting evening event awaits you there with presentations on current topics in times of digitalization, globalization and Industry 4.0 as well as on our working world of the future.
We look forward to seeing you!
