Invitation:

In Cologne there is a saying: After three times it’s tradition! This is why we are excited to invite all XR professionals to our third informal Gathering at this year’s Gamescom! 

We, the community of Spatial Realities and DLR Projektträger started this Event three years ago to establish an event where professionals in XR find a regular and trustworthy place to meet-up during Gamescom. The EDFVR has always been supporting the Get-Together. This year they took an active part and started the initiative early.

We are happy to welcome the EDFVR e.V. as a third Initiator of this year’s meet-up. And we are growing! More partners can join us. Therefore please write an email to info@spatialrealities.de 

The get-together will consist of a short welcome of the initiators and sponsors. The rest will be fully committed to networking. Cold beverages will be provided, with as well as without alcohol. 

After the Get-together you are invited to join us for The Cologne Gamescom Business Mixer (a link for registration will be provided soon).
