Over the two days, there will also be an opportunity to visit the immersive business demonstration space to experience the technology first-hand. Including virtual reality (VR), mixed and augmented reality (AR) headsets, and interactive demos of various immersive tools and technologies.

The conference will take place at Falmouth University Sports Hall at the Penryn Campus on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th of February. Each day has a packed schedule starting at 9:00 am each day and running until 5/6 pm each. However, there will be the chance to socialise after the conference each day with pre-planned evening activities.
