NexTech AR Solutions Corp (CSE:NTAR) (OTCQB:NEXCF) announced Friday it will provide its InfernoAR Virtual Events platform services to the YASM ministry for a two-day event in July. The ministry will hold four "Ignite'' sessions on July 24-25 for 1,000 young adults that had been intended as a physical event but was canceled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.  NexTech said the event will now have seven holograms of five of the preachers being beamed into congregates’ living rooms.

Traditional businesses expect a permanent shift by up to 40% for a business that requires in-person meetings and conferences creating a surge in demand for our services globally.” The YASM ministry was created to help young adults and singles in The Redeemed Christian Church of God North America grow in their spiritual, career, social, and personal lives. The group was also created to serve as a support group for young adults from ages 18 and older. NexTech, based in Toronto, is currently pursuing the use of its augmented reality technology across four key verticals: e-commerce, education, entertainment and advertising. The AR industry is estimated to hit $120 billion by 2022. Contact the author: patrick@proactiveinvestors.com Follow him on Twitter @PatrickMGraham
