VWA Community Demonstration Space
2–3 November 2026 · Valencia
Bring your Virtual Worlds experience to the Forum. This new experiential space showcases European excellence through hands-on applications, connecting your work with industry, research and policy leaders.
What you can showcase
Bring an experience visitors can try, with a clear real-world application.
- Testable experiences from any industry sector. Video-only submissions are not accepted.
- Experiences that combine physical and virtual elements, including augmented objects, are welcome.
- Provide the materials our team needs to set up your experience, plus communication assets for the space's marketing.
How to take part
Register your interest using the showcase form. A second form to submit your experience details will follow shortly afterwards.
Tell us if you'd like to host a talk, panel or workshop. A workshops and happenings area with a screen may be available, depending on the requests we receive.
How the space works
Content comes first: experiential zones make Virtual Worlds engaging and understandable, from mobile AR and active VR to free-hand AR on interactive screens, passive VR experiences and digital twins. Content is tagged by sector so visitors can explore application domains and draw connections.
Visibility for your work
An on-site photographer and social media manager will interview visitors and demonstrators, share content every day, and work with the Forum's communication team and media partners.
