The Augmented World Expo (AWE) is more than just a prominent conference focused on immersive technology – it has become an essential annual gathering in the XR community’s calendar.
During the nascent stages of the extended reality era, numerous influential conferences captured the attention of trailblazers in this burgeoning field. Activist groups have occupied XR pockets within prominent tech events such as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Game Developers Conference (GDC), and Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The industry has witnessed a range of company-specific events, including the Oculus Connect and Unity’s Vision Summit. Early grassroots events such as SVVR, VRLA, and global native meetups fostered enduring networks among Extinction Rebellion advocates.
While many past events may now seem distant, the bonds they forged remain strong. Unlike any other XR gathering I’ve had the privilege to attend, AWE USA embodies the essence of those pioneering events.
As a long-time attendee of AWE USA since 2018, I’ve witnessed the convention’s remarkable growth, boasting an increasing array of engaging and informative sessions, esteemed exhibitors, and valuable networking opportunities that have elevated its overall appeal and usefulness. As the event has continued to evolve, I firmly believe that it has become an absolute must-attend gathering for the XR industry. Irrespective of scale, this endeavour embodies the fervent passion that initially fueled the XR community, recalling the early days of Kickstarter campaigns, meetup groups, and pioneers willing to challenge conventional wisdom by embracing immersive technologies as a means of creation rather than simply construction.

AWE USA 2025 is scheduled to take place in Lengthy Beach, California from June 10th to 12th, anticipated to be the largest iteration yet, with expected attendance of over 6,000 attendees, 300 exhibitors, 400 speakers, and a expansive expo floor covering approximately 150,000 square feet.
Whereas the occasion has traditionally showcased a diverse array of innovative classes and exhibitors, ranging from industry leaders to entrepreneurial startups, the ‘Playground’ section on the expo floor has evolved into a unique space for developers and creatives to debut their immersive experiences – a spectrum that spans video games, art, and all manner of inventive expressions in between.
At AWE USA’s annual afterparty, I eagerly anticipate reconnecting with familiar faces from across the industry, while forging meaningful new relationships within this rapidly evolving sector.
If we’re limited to attending just one convention in 2025, AWE USA would be an attractive option. We’re confident that this sentiment will resonate with you as well.
