The Making of the VR Awards This year has been the most remarkable yet for the VR Awards and the Academy of International Extended Reality. After our most successful VR Awards yet in 2019, we began preparation for the next edition of the VR Awards. This launched us on an exceptional journey, and we couldn’t be prouder to bring you this very special edition of the VR Awards.

As we began exploring a social VR platform to host the show, we quickly settled on our partners at VRChat. The VRChat community is huge with an endless collection of social VR experiences built and shared by the community.

VR Awards 2020, Digital
Our flagship show is a pillar of the VR community, bringing hundreds of international guests to our home in Central London, a hub for immersive technology. The awards have become hugely important to the immersive ecosystem; giving recognition to leading pioneers & giving networking access to the most influential names something we wanted to carry into any event medium we chose.
As we saw increasing lockdown measures, we snapped at the opportunity to deliver something we always wanted to; a fully virtual event.
