Chicago XR Summit Exhibition: The Next Evolution | AWE Nite Chicago

Chicago Community,

You are invited to the Chicago XR Summit Exhibition - for free!

The Chicago XR Summit Exhibition, produced by VRAR Chicago in partnership with Illinois Institute of Technology, is a free, educational, expo style event that is raising awareness of the value of Immersive Technology solutions (Virtual, Augmented, Extended and Mixed Realities). Come and try hands-on demonstrations of Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality hardware, software, and services that are currently deployed both in Chicago and around the world.

Compete in the Beat Saber Competition sponsored by Pulse Studios – top score wins a headset. We are also grateful for our other sponsors: Underwriter Laboratories, Wesco, VR Expert x Pico, and XR Association.

Immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are far more than just entertainment, they're powerful tools transforming the way industries operate. From manufacturing and healthcare to education, logistics, hospitality, workforce development, and beyond, XR is driving innovation, improving efficiency, and delivering measurable results across sectors.

Chicago is home to a diverse range of these industries, making it a prime market for immersive technology adoption. XR companies should take note: the opportunity to bring meaningful, scalable solutions to this thriving ecosystem is not just growing – it’s already here.
