On April 21, 2011, Immersive Tech hosted an intimate SOLD OUT event in downtown LA’s Brewery artist lofts. The evening’s focus is on “The Era of Experience,” as coined by James McQuivey of Forrester Research. Networking, live experience, and cocktails – ImTech style.

This discussion was represented by many sides – tech hardware and software enablers,
UX and content designers, and consumer trend trackers.
