AWE has announced the first wave of speakers participating in AWE 2022—including Unity CEO John Riccitiello who will kick off this year’s in-person event.

Each year at AWE, sponsors and exhibitors make compelling and important extended reality (XR)-related announcements. With this year’s conference focusing on ‘Where XR Business Thrives‘, AWE 2022 will once again be held as a face-to-face, physical event featuring a wide range of hands-on demos available for the expected 5,000+ attendees.

A diverse range of speakers across 12 curated tracks, including high-level representatives from Autodesk, Chick-fil-A, Deutsche Telekom, P&G, Siemens, and Walmart, are currently confirmed.

“2022 is poised to be the biggest year in the history of XR and there is no better place to see it in action than at AWE USA,” said Ori Inbar, AWE CEO and co-founder. “Just seven months after the very successful gathering in November, AWE will recreate the magic by bringing together the entire XR community in person, under one roof. It will coalesce around 400 of the top speakers and thought leaders in the industry—continuing with our commitment for diversity and gender parity—and will feature the largest-ever exhibition for the XR industry.”

AWE USA 2022 will take place from June 1-3 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. Tickets are on sale now, with Super-Early-Bird rates available until March 1. To purchase tickets and save up to $800 before these rates expire, click here.
