Conference Sponsors
Gold Sponsor: 22nd Century
Thanks goes to Lillie Yifu of 22nd Century for sponsoring the Real Estate Metaverse Charity Ball, for which all proceeds benefit a RL Uthango project. Lillie designed and constructed a fabulous sky ballroom high above the Real Estate Metaverse Expo Center. 22nd Century's equally beautiful ballrooms on Yedo feature low lag dancing and entertainment. If you weren't able to attend the Uthango Ball... there's still time to still ride a sky chair to take a peek at what you missed! The Skychairs are located behind the glass ramps at the Real Estate Metaverse Expo Center.
