We hope you had an amazing time and were able to connect, learn, and be inspired. Your presence and engagement made all the difference, and we are grateful to have you as part of our ODA-Nettverk community.

ODA Inspiration Day is the annual conference for everyone interested in tech and diversity. On May 4, national and international experts met at Oslo Concert Hall to discuss the future of the metaverse and how diversity can play a key role in shaping it for the better.

The theme of 2023 was Metaverse Mania, where we focused on the hype and realities of the metaverse – a digital world that took the world by storm. We delved into the positive and negative aspects of this new world, where people could connect, create, and explore interactive virtual worlds, digital universes, and new realities.
