we would like to invite you to participate in the “Virtual Reality Slam” at our 3rd meetup taking place on Sunday August 17th at 8 pm, just right after Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
Our first two meetups were already a great success and attracted people from all over Germany. Now we want to invite teams from all over the world working on VR to present and demo their work in games, movies, experiences and so on! After the pitches and an extended demo session everyone attending will vote to determine the overall winners.
How to participate in the VR Slam
To participate in the “Virtual Reality Slam” at least one team member (or the single dev) has to register to this meetup event and submit a short pitch on the meetup board including a demo and/or video.
Every one of these teams will have the opportunity to pitch their project for 7 minutes in front of all meetup attendees. Following the pitches we will open the demo session and every attending team (even the ones not participating in the Slam) will have the opportunity to exhibit their projects.
After about 2 hours of testing and demoing, the meetup participants will make a final poll to determine the overall winners of the evening who will receive one of the following prices:

FAQ
1.) Why do I have to register on the Meetup homepage, if I only want to poll?
We want to ensure that the poll will be fair (no script polling) and also to have everything in one place. The poll will be opened shortly after the end of the participation deadline on August 11th.
2.) Why should I be a VR Slam contender?
To connect with like-minded people and companies, meet future team members, get attention for your projects and to have lots of fun!
3.) How can I submit my project?
Register at https://www.meetup.com/Cologne-Virtual-Reality-Meetup/ and join our Cologne VR Meetup-Group. As second step post details about your (planed) project on the event board below including the name of project / type of app or game / short description and if available e.g. links of screenshots, videos or demo apps.
4.) How will the winner be determined?
After the pitches and demo session we will execute a poll on-site in Cologne. Everyone attending will have two votes for their favorite projects. Of course only projects with attending teams or devs can win the final poll!
5.) Do I have to come to the Meetup in Cologne, if I want to participate to the poll?
If you want to decide about the ranking of the teams, you do not have to come to Cologne or RSVP to the Meetup event. But you have to be a member of the Meetup group.
Only if you want to poll for the finals you have to come on-site to Cologne.
6.) Are there any formal restrictions for the participation to the “Virtual Reality Slam”?
No. All interested persons are allowed to submit their VR project (independent of their development status - even if it´s already finished) product). There are no thematic limitations as long as your project is within VR. At the end the Meetup members will decide which project are their favorites.
