A new annual conference from Greenlight Insights is angling itself to sate the growing desire for “actionable insights” from the rapidly expanding VR industry. The 2016 Virtual Reality Strategy Conference aims to layout the “new rules” of the VR economy.
Research company Greenlight is leveraging the knowledge and insight gathered from its production of major VR industry reports to create an event aimed at those hoping to lead it to success. Greenlight says that the VRS Conference, to be held on November 1-2 in San Francisco, was created “specifically for executives in the technology, media and investment industries.”
The conference will play host to various leading lights in the technology industry, many of whom are forging businesses in the immersive technology space. Speakers and presenters at the event include Danielle Segal, Head of Experiences at AR headset developer Meta, Eric Romo, CEO of social VR platform AltSpace VR, Byan Mooser CEO at immersive media company Ryot, Tim Milliron, VP of Engineering at lightfield camera specialists Lytro, Devon Copley, Head of Product at 360 camera Nokia and many more.
