XR Access Symposium 2025

About the 2025 Symposium

The XR Access Symposium is our annual conference for leaders in industry, academia, and advocacy to come together and solve the most pressing problems in extended reality accessibility. For 2025, our focus is 3D Diversity: how can we use XR and other emerging technologies to design valuable immersive applications for increasingly diverse audiences?

This 2 day conference will take place on June 26-27, 2025, at the Verizon Executive Education Center on Cornell Tech campus in New York City, with sessions broadcasted online. It is hosted by Cornell University. Previous years have included presentations from industry titans such as Accenture, Meta, Microsoft, and Adobe, as well as cutting edge research from NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia University, and many others.

We welcome all researchers, advocates, content creators, and accessibility practitioners to join us in pushing forward the state of the art of XR accessibility!
