VRTO 2026 - Spatial Media World Conference & Expo

VRTO returns to the heart of Toronto this summer, with amazing events including Video Games Month, FIFA, and many other incredible opportunities to meet folks and level up. What VRTO does best is bring you face-to-face with the doers, designers, makers, outside-the-box thinkers, and opportunities. With a third day added to the 2026 schedule, you can pick up a full conference pass or a 1-day pass for any of the three days. Or if you are more interested in the exhibits, a casual roam, and socializing, consider the economical wristband pass, which also gives you access to the second stage, where you will find interesting and actionable presentations on a variety of topics. Whatever the case may be, we love to see the whole community come together from near and far to exchange the latest on all things related to the new spatial media. This includes virtual production, avatars and virtual embodiment, generative AI and pair programming discussions from all sides, pedagogy and enterprise training, game and experience development, virtual and augmented reality, volumetric capture, and much more. There are few shows as dedicated to these specialized disciplines as VRTO, and you can enjoy it at an easy-to-reach central location. This event is presented here for community interest and meetup purposes. A ticket to the event must be purchased to gain [admission at Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vrto-2026-spatial-media-world-conference-expo-tickets-1981067584474?aff=ebdsoporgprofile) All the info you need will be posted at https://conference.virtualreality.to, and we can't wait to see you at this very special event.
