FireSide Chat Adventures in XR: The Art of Making Things Happen
Two women. Two very different journeys. One industry that never stands still.
What happens when three decades of technical experience meet fresh perspectives, powerful connections and a talent for opening doors?
Join two women at the cutting edge of XR for a lively, candid conversation about turning ambitious ideas into real-world experiences. From building the technology to building the partnerships that bring it to life, they'll share the opportunities, obstacles, unexpected encounters and hard-won lessons behind making things happen.
Expect stories from the trenches, a few uncomfortable truths, plenty of humour and a refreshingly human look at an industry obsessed with the future.
