Women in Immersive Technologies Meetup UK x GLOW: Illuminating Innovation

On 19 April, join Women In Immersive Technologies UK and King’s College London for an in-person meet-up filled with inspiring chats, live demos, networking and collaboration!

This event will bring together and champion the WIIT communities of inspiring, like-minded women, those who identify as women and non-binary in immersive tech to meet, connect, share resources, and celebrate the successful run of GLOW: Illuminating Innovation, an exhibition showcasing leading women artists who have been at the forefront of the immersive arts, exploring virtual & augmented realities.

Arrive early to dive into the GLoW exhibition at The Arcade Bush House and Strand Aldwych (free and open all day!), then head to the River Room (King’s Building) to kickstart your weekend with drinks on arrival.

The new WIIT UK Ambassador Muki Kulhan will host, toast and chat to Sarah Atkinson, GLOW’s curator and King’s College London Professor of Screen Media, who will reveal the secret sauce behind the planning and process of curating GLoW. Special guests include Juliana Silva from Latinas in Tech endorsing gender equality from the Latino and Hispanic communities, and long-time WIIT ally Dave Haynes from FOV Ventures with updates about our DVSRTY partner programme as well as new financial and investment opportunities for female founders & entrepreneurs.
