About this Event

In this thought-provoking panel, we delve into the rapidly evolving landscape of Extended Reality (XR), exploring its unique opportunities and the risks associated with its development and adoption within the UK’s Black Community. As we challenge the foundational pillars of Placement (jobs), Presence (visibility), and Progression (advancement), we aim to demystify the future disruptions in the XR space and provide actionable insights for individuals and companies across XR and emerging technologies. Join us as we navigate the challenges and opportunities within the UK’s XR sector and seek to uncover the pathways to a more inclusive, innovative, and successful future for Extended Reality.
