Review: nextReality.festival 2025
The nextReality.festival 2025 brought the XR community together in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt for the second time. Over two days, participants discussed, explored, and connected around immersive technologies, media, and their applications in business, the creative industries, education, and research
With 80 speakers, more than 20 exhibitors, and over 300 participants, the festival offered a diverse mix of conference sessions, exhibition, award ceremony, and networking. The focus was on practical use cases, current developments in XR, spatial computing, and AI, as well as exchange within the community.
With this, nextReality.festival 2025 further strengthened its position as a key platform for XR in Northern Germany and set important impulses for the future.

The Conference
The conference featured thematic tracks that offered exciting insights into various application fields of extended reality. Renowned keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and inspiring panel discussions brought participants up to speed with the latest technologies and trends.
That was the exhibition
The exhibition featured not only the nominated projects of nextReality.Contest 2025, but also startups, companies, and initiatives from Hamburg and beyond. Visitors were able to experience immersive technologies up close—completely free of charge, as the exhibition was open to everyone without a ticket.
A special highlight was the XRC25 and XRIAA award ceremony on November 5 at the Astor Film Lounge, where outstanding projects were honored across various categories.
A few
impressions
The perfect finale was the After-Show Get-Together at VRHQ – with music, drinks, and plenty of inspiring conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.
nextReality.festival 2025 was the ideal place to explore the latest developments in the XR industry, build valuable connections, and shape the future of immersive media together.
