VR in a Bar
VR in a bar was founded by Virtual Umbrella and The Loading Bar in 2014 as a fun, friendly alternative to corporate networking.
The idea? It’s simple. Take all the jaw-dropping immersive tech from formal VR conferences. Put it in a bar near you. Invite the very best and brightest from the world of virtual reality. Aaaaaaaand mix.
That’s why, over the last three years, VR in a Bar has attracted exhibitors from MakeReal, Opto, Subpac, Momentum VR, Fourthwall, Psytec Games, BAFTA award-winning VR studio, Alchemy VR, and more.
Still not convinced? It goes like this. VR is innovative, it’s pioneering, and it just might change the world. Why limit the incredible connections that could be made across the virtual reality community to formal conference settings? Shouldn’t there be something different? Something which brings whisky, cutting-edge technology, and VR influencers into the same room and says: ‘Hey! This is pretty cool. Isn’t VR cool? Isn’t the VR community cool?’ You bet we are.

Can I come and talk at VR in a Bar?
We don’t offer talks at VR in a Bar. We love hearing from everyone in our VR community, but we think VR in a Bar is all about small, friendly, intimate conversations between individuals rather than formal presentations. Instead, we ask our exhibitors to demo their work to attendees. All hands-on and stuff. It’s fun.
