Virtual Reality: Who is using it for events?

Virtual Reality: Who is using it for events?

CORE PRES] Mobileye sets a new Guinness World Record at the 2017 YPO EDGE


There has certainly been a lot of buzz about virtual reality and many have predicted that it will soon be one of the hottest trends in the events industry. I blog regularly for Plan Your Meetings. For a recent blog post, I set out in search of real-world examples of how virtual reality is currently being used. Despite the hype, virtual reality use is still quite limited in the events industry. 

Here is a quick round-up of what I uncovered. Virtual reality is being used for:

  • Presentations: On March 3, 2017, the Guinness World Records for the “Most People Using Virtual Reality Displays” during a presentation was set at YPO EDGE in Vancouver. 1,867 executives participated simultaneously. 

          Check out the video footage on the original blog post.

  • News Conferences
  • Venue Showcases
  • Pop-up Event Marketing
  • Pop-up Venues
  •  Wedding and Event Videos
