Moscow, Russia, September 24, 2016
I’m please to announce the first VRBusiness event, the London Virtual Reality Business Meetup on Nov 22nd 2016 @ WeWork Moorgate.
We wanted to find an event that had a focus on VR (and AR/MR) from a business and commercial point of view rather than from just on the gaming side. We couldn’t find one, so we decided to grab the bull by the horns and get one started.
Register for your free ticket at: https://vrbusiness.uk and follow us on Facebook & Twitter @VRBusinessUK for updates and announcements!

Wondering if you could add our event CVR 2017, which is taking place May 5 – May 7, 2017 in Vancouver, Canada.
Consumer Virtual Reality (CVR) is the premier event to experience groundbreaking new virtual and augmented reality technology. Held on the Canadian west coast in beautiful Vancouver, the event brings together consumers, developers, businesses, and tech enthusiasts for a weekend of fun that shapes the future of VR and AR. CVR is produced by Archiact — the VR studio.

Thank you!
Hoping you can add to your list 4th European ARVR Innovate Conference and Expo, taking place May 11 – May 12, in Dublin, Ireland.
This is one of Europe’s best established conferences in the AR and VR space, with a particular focus on the business case applications of the technologies. Partners are DAQRI. Official website is http://www.innovatereality.com
Please check if the icvr.org conference is real. A quick check on their website, produced some skeptical information like no registration form. They list a university professor as a committee member, but when contacted, he denied knowing anything about the conference. They claim to be in Hong Kong this year.
Thank you Nick for visiting. Noted on that. We will check further for the 2017 event.
