CREATOR & WORLDBUILDER MEETUP
AREA X EXHIBITION OPENING

Tue November 10, 2026 05:00 pm CET

Explore the new AREA X – the refurbished home of the IMMERSIVE X community in VRChat.

To celebrate its reopening, AREA X unveils a new exhibition showcasing creators and worldbuilders from across the immersive community. This vernissage is a chance to meet the people behind the works, exchange ideas, get inspired, and make new connections.

The meetup is not just for creators and worldbuilders looking to connect with their peers. Companies, organizations, investors, and anyone curious about immersive creation are invited to join, meet potential collaborators, and explore how their own ideas could take shape in virtual worlds.

Co-hosted with our partner BRIGHT Festival, with whom IMMERSIVE X collaborates at the intersection of art and immersive technology, this is where creators, ideas, and opportunities meet.
