Co-hosted by CCRW, Amal Unite & Empower, and Keyin College, this event brings together industry professionals, community partners, and tech-forward organizations to network, explore, and discover how VR is being used in real-world workplace settings - and how it can support your own team.

  • VR Bingo Challenge – Complete your bingo card by visiting stations and sessions to be entered to win prizes, including the grand prize: A half-day “AI in the Workplace” training for your team, courtesy of Keyin College (for up to 10 participants)
This is a tactile, tech-forward networking experience designed to help you connect, explore, and leave with real ideas you can take back to your organization.
