July North East XR Meet-up

North East XR Meetups are for anyone interested in immersive technologies, from experienced practitioners to those just beginning to explore the field. Our meetups bring together a diverse mix of developers, artists, researchers, students, freelancers, educators, creative technologists, and industry professionals from across the region. Whether you're actively building immersive experiences or are simply curious about the field, you'll find opportunities to learn, connect, and get inspired.
This forth event in the series will focus on a topic that affects almost every XR project at some stage: funding. During this summer evening, we'll look together for current funding opportunities available to immersive projects, where to look for support, and what pathways are available across the sector. We'll also share a few lessons learned from projects that have successfully secured backing.
As always, the first half of the meetup will be dedicated to the keynote and community updates. These short presentations are a chance to share recent work, discuss challenges, showcase research, celebrate achievements, or simply let the community know what you're currently working on.
The second half of the evening is all about networking, conversation, and connecting with fellow XR practitioners in a relaxed environment.
We look forward to seeing you.

Do you have a project update, a recent discovery, a challenge you'd like feedback on, or a funding experience worth sharing? If you'd like to contribute a short community update or add something to the evening's funding theme, please get in touch with one of the event curators: Liza, [email protected]

This event is open to anyone with an interest in immersive technologies. Whether you’re actively building or just starting to explore, you’ll find opportunities to learn, connect, and get inspired.
