The Latest VR Connects San Francisco 2017 Speakers

The Latest VR Connects San Francisco 2017 Speakers

We like a broad-ranging set of speakers at our VR Connects conferences.

If you came to VRC London, you'd have witnessed that first-hand; our speakers represented a wide array of disciplines within the virtual, augmented, and mixed reality fields – which delegates made a point of praising in their kind feedback.

If you didn't make it, you'll just have to take our word for it. (We're a pretty honest bunch.)

And if it worked in London, why not California? VR Connects San Francisco on 27th-28th June will again aim for that full-ranging, cross-discipline approach and our latest batch of announced speakers couldn't demonstrate that more effectively.

New confirmed speakers:

  • Robert Merki, cognitiveVR
  • Aruna Inversin, Digital Domain
  • Noah Falstein, Google / Indie
  • Yoshio Osaki, IDG Consulting
  • Andrew Goldstein, Otherworld Interactive
  • Guy Bendov, SidekickVR
  • SJ Kim, VR And Fun
  • Tipatat Chennavasin, The VR Fund

Hollywood players, investors, analysts, industry veterans, neurogaming experts, visionaries. Eight names, eight very different areas of focus, eight slices of key insight applicable to just about anyone working in this industry.

Together with the rest of our speaker roster they'll underpin a conference that affords all those working in VR/AR/MR to get together for two essential days of discussion, discovery, and delightful networking.

Don't want to miss out? Make sure you join in.
