Director of Business Affairs, Creative X - Meta

With nearly 20 years of marketing experience in the tech industry, Cristie has built global teams, kept the biggest brands in the world safe from legal risk and, saving her highest priority for last, mentored the next generation of leaders.

“Working for complex, innovative brands with high impact on how we interact with others through technology motivates and challenges me,” she says. “I’m grateful for my experiences so far and can’t wait to see what the future brings!”

Cristie’s keynote will focus on today’s hottest topic: the metaverse.

We are all trying to understand the metaverse. How it will help us feel connected to people in our lives, how it will impact the content creation industry and what we need to do today to build it. As we enter the next frontier of the metaverse, this session will cover some examples of things we’ve created and some lessons we’ve picked up so far. This discussion should hopefully help each of us envision the possibilities and how we can all play a part in building the future.
