The Next Evolution | AWE Nite Chicago is hosting a Technology Demonstration Day on June 5th at 1871, Chicago’s technology Incubator. This event serves as a local preview to Augmented World Expo taking place June 18-20 in Long Beach California. With the increased excitement toward spatial computing and immersive technologies due to the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3, we will be showcasing some of the other amazing, innovative technologies that are available. Our focus will be AR & VR hardware but will also be partnering with software applications to showcase the latest and greatest.
Physical & Virtual Venues:Â
1871 | 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, Suite 1212

For our Virtual Venue, we will be using Virbela‘s Open Campus to host the program. We suggest that you download, set-up, get familiar with the Virbela program and environment prior to the program, as we will be unable to provide support during the event.
The virtual environment resembles a physical space, so you will be able to talk with other attendees during open networking both before and after the presentations. The sound is spatialized, so if at any point it feels too loud, feel free to move your conversation to another part of the room where there are less people.

What’s the Format:
We begin with informal networking and then start the stage portion promptly at 6:15pm CDT. There will be a handful of presentations before we move on to answer audience questions and then finish with more networking. We keep it simple and informal – this program is about you, our members, and not the host or presenters. Come and get your questions answered, take your next step into immersive technology.
