Hey, it's James Taylor keynote speaker on creativity, innovation, and future trends today I am in Dubai, that city of the future. It's always great coming here because you get a glimpse of the future. Things that happen here happen in other cities six months to a year later. I often come here to get ideas and see the new trends. For example, they even have a museum called the Museum of the Future.
I've been giving a keynote for Kempinski Hotels, Europe's oldest luxury hotel group with around 80 locations worldwide. I've spoken at conferences in Bangkok and Jordan and love staying at Kempinski hotels. The senior leadership at the Kempinski Mall of the Emirates in Dubai asked me to talk about the future, innovation, creativity, and what the Metaverse could mean for their industry.
While I've been here, I took the opportunity to check out ftNFT, the world's first physical store selling NFTs (non-fungible tokens). If you don't know what NFTs are, check out my website, JamesTaylor.me, for keynotes on that topic. It's interesting because NFTs are usually considered digital assets, but now there are physical stores selling them. Phygital retail is starting to happen.
Next week, I'm flying to Milan to speak about NFTs and their impact on the automotive and tire engineering industries. The event will be filmed in a green screen room with a full studio crew and produced in the Metaverse, so I'll be speaking to a pre-recorded version of myself.
If you're not already subscribed to my videos, make sure to do so on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or my website JamesTaylor.me to get the latest updates. I'll be showing you a bit about Dubai and the ftNFT store, so make sure to check it out next time you're in Dubai, and maybe even buy an NFT. Take care!
