The three day event took place in Millennium Square, home to We the Curious and the Planetarium. The expo took place on the Square itself with At-Bristol and The Watershed hosting talks, meetings and other events.

VR World Congress was tailored to both industry professionals and consumers, so if you were looking to make a start in VR, an experienced industry veteran, or just interested in the possibilities of the tech, there’ll be plenty for you to discover.

Watch this space for news on the next event and please note - there will not be a VR World Congress in 2018.
