The 2019 XR For Change Summit brings an exciting start to this year's Games For Change Festival.

What To Expect at the XR4C Summit!

The XR for Change Summit will feature a variety of XR experiences, networking events, talks, and panels. Grab your badge in the lobby, then head over to a session or jump into your new favorite XR experience. This year's XR4C Immersive Arcade will feature more than 20 XR experiences across two floors, making it our largest exhibition yet! Attendees will get to try the newest games and experiences on almost every leading XR platform, including the HTC VIVE, Oculus Rift, Oculus Go, Magic Leap One, and HP Reverb!

The best part? You can sign up on-site for any available timeslot and skip the lines! Docents will be placed at every booth to help you find an open slot, so you can enjoy the festival until it's your turn. Look out for an email or text alerting you to come back. We'll even be releasing slots in batches so that they can't get swept up by early birds.
