Immersive Impact
How XR can drive change

AI-Generated image

We live in a world of growing complexity where challenges require new ways of thinking and acting. How can immersive technologies help us not only find innovative solutions, but also communicate and experience them in powerful and disruptive ways?

The fifth edition of IMMERSIVE X (November 11-13, 2025) is dedicated to the transformative power of XR – a force capable of opening new perspectives, challenging assumptions, and reshaping human behavior. Whether you are a storyteller, businessperson, educator, activist, or artist – XR offers a radically new way to engage with your ideas and each other.

We take the Metaverse seriously: Join our vibrant community from anywhere in the world with a VR headset as our sessions unfold in fully immersive 3D environments. The Metaverse is diverse, dynamic, and rapidly evolving – that’s why IMMERSIVE X is not a single, but a multiplatform event.

Step inside.
See the world differently.
Be a part of IMMERSIVE X 2025.
