Program
What is Realities360?

The event highlights a number of real-world examples of these technologies in practice and provides attendees the space to experience these technologies and discover for themselves the opportunities they create.
What makes Realities360 unique?
Realities360 is unlike any conference you’ve attended before. It is built from the ground up to be a hands-on experience. Realities360 also provides a forum for learning and development professionals to connect with technology companies to explore not only what the technologies can do, but what we need them to do in the near future. The first ever Realities360 Expo provides an opportunity for you to experience these technologies for yourself and bring the context of those experiences into discussions that help you see where AR, VR, and like technologies fit within your organization.
What is Morning Buzz?
Each morning at Realities360, you will have the option to kick-start your day with Morning Buzz, the ever-popular “early bird” facilitated discussions. Grab your coffee, and join an informal conversation exploring one of a number of different topics.
