Kelly Vero is a futurist, a game developer and an architect of the metaverse. She has shipped several very successful AAA video games with mass-market appeal for adult & children’s franchises and household-name IPs.

Through the touch points of the present to the future from the pain points of working in a fast-paced,…

Furthermore, in Kelly’s conferences, she speaks eloquently about the cradle-to-grave approach in technology. Through the touch points of the present to the future from the pain points of working in a fast-paced, high-risk industry, she’s building tomorrow for everyone. It’s through these experiences that Kelly is able to develop a vision of the future and commit to a democratic covenant of fairness, discoverability and accessibility online and in real life.
In her keynotes Kelly covers such topics as futurism, technology, entertainment production, design and user focus.
