Calling all women, non-binary, trans and gender-fluid people working in, or curious about, immersive and emerging technologies!

Join the Ida XR Network for an afternoon exploring how immersive technologies can be used as a tool for connection, resistance and change. This event will dive into the powerful intersection where technology, creativity, community and activism all meet — asking how immersive tools can amplify voices, challenge systems, and bring communities together.

Expect an inspiring mix of open discussions with our award-winning guest speakers, Rose Bond and Antonia Forster. As well as the opportunity to experience Rose Bond’s Earths to Come ahead of the event.
