IMMERSIVE X is partnering with CYBERLÄND – The Immersive Future Convention to create a unique virtual gateway into one of Europe’s most exciting events dedicated to XR, AI and Spatial Media.
On June 26, 2026, CYBERLÄND FUTUROMUNDO will bring together innovators, researchers, educators, policymakers and creative pioneers at the Haus der Wirtschaft in Stuttgart to explore how immersive technologies are transforming business, learning, culture and society.
IMMERSIVE X – The Global XR Festival in VR takes the convention beyond the physical venue and into the virtual realm through a curated program across social XR platforms such as VRChat, ENGAGE and Foretell Reality.
Whether you join onsite in Stuttgart or remotely from your home, office or classroom, CYBERLÄND VR offers direct access to inspiring conversations, interactive experiences and meaningful networking opportunities.
Remote participation in CYBERLÄND VR is free of charge. Registration is required.
Participants of The CYBERLÄND FUTUROMUNDO in Stuttgart receive access not only to CYBERLÄND VR, but also to the exclusive on-site conference program featuring keynotes, workshops, exhibitions, and networking opportunities. Members of the IMMERSIVE X community are eligible for a discounted Community Ticket at a reduced rate of €66 instead of €199.
Join three curated sessions exploring the future of immersive storytelling, European XR governance and Spatial AI in healthcare and experience firsthand how virtual worlds can connect people, ideas and innovation across borders.
CYBERLÄND VR is part of The CYBERLÄND FUTUROMUNDO in Stuttgart on June 26 and extends the event into a shared immersive experience brought to you by IMMERSIVE X. The sessions can be joined both on-site and remotely, connecting the local audience with participants from around the world.

Every new medium requires its own grammar. But what makes a virtual world truly captivating for audiences who come with a desire to explore, interact, and connect?
In this fireside chat, Thomas Zorbach, Founder and CEO of vm-people and one of the creators of the Castle of KYSS, joins Digital Experience Designer Liam Mckill to explore the principles of Strollytelling – the art of storytelling through exploration in immersive virtual environments.
Using the Castle of KYSS – a hub for romance novel fans – as a case study, they will discuss how narrative, architecture, atmosphere and interaction can be combined to create meaningful experiences that encourage visitors not merely to observe a story, but to step inside it.

Who will shape the future of virtual worlds? As immersive technologies become increasingly embedded in our societies, questions of trust, inclusion, governance, and digital sovereignty are becoming just as important as technological innovation itself.
In this panel discussion, Michael Barngrover, Dorota Sędek, and Lukasz Porwol join moderator Prof. Dr. Dr. Björn Bohnenkamp to explore Europe’s role in shaping the future of XR and virtual worlds. Drawing on perspectives from industry, community building, innovation, and education, they will discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the European XR ecosystem.
From trustworthy platforms and democratic participation to accessibility, diversity, and international collaboration, the conversation will examine how Europe can help create virtual worlds that put people first and why the decisions we make today may shape the future of XR for generations to come.

ENGAGE
Karls Virtual Retreat
What happens when artificial intelligence is given a face, a voice, and a presence in virtual space? As intelligent avatars become increasingly sophisticated, they are opening up new possibilities for communication, education, and engagement across the healthcare sector.
In this session, Ines Heitkamp and D.J. Smith join moderator Anne Seubert to explore how the MedTriX Group is leveraging Spatial AI to create new forms of interaction for healthcare and pharmaceutical organizations. Using real-world examples, they will discuss how intelligent avatars can support medical education, simplify complex topics, and make expert knowledge more accessible, engaging, and interactive.
However, this session is not just about listening. Following the discussion, you will have the opportunity to experience these concepts firsthand. Through an interactive quiz, you will engage with with an AI-powered avatar and discover how Spatial AI can transform information into meaningful interaction.
