VR World Congress was a huge success, so much so that we're already laying down plans for next year's bigger and better conference. The event saw over 750 people gather in Bristol to see 36 world-leading speakers along with 27 incredible exhibitors. Attendees were able to immerse themselves into the fast developing world of VR, meeting and networking with hundreds of likeminded professionals and enthusiasts.
Interest in VRWC was incredibly high. BBC News conducted a live feed for their hugely popular Breakfast programme, as well as a spot on the South West’s own BBC Points West. Other broadcasters including ITV and Sky News reported on the event. As well as broadcast media, tech-savvy articles were published by PCGamesN, Game Debate andGigaOm along with mainstream publications Forbes, IB Times and B2B Marketing.
Rather than just tell you about it, however, here's our round-up video, providing an ideal look into the day's events:

Following the sell out success of this year’s event, VR World Congress will be back next year in April with a much bigger venue, more days and therefore more talks and more exhibitors. Given how fast the technology is developing, we can’t wait to see what kind of amazing tech will be on show at #VRWC17.
Once again, Bristol will be the proud host for the event, further reinforcing its position as a center of excellence for VR and technology.
We're already on the lookout for partners for VRWC 2017; this includes sponsors, speakers, exhibitors and more.
