Thoughts From AWE's Head of Programming
AWE's Head of Programming Sonya Haskins is the brains behind this year's incredible agenda and speaker lineup. Sharing her thoughts and excitement for this year's event, she said:
 |
"Based on attendee feedback, we implemented some new guidelines this year for submissions, resulting in an agenda featuring sessions with the best use cases and actionable takeaway points. Also per popular request, the program overall is a little smaller, with coordinating lunch and break times to allow for better networking. I'm excited about AWE EU 2024 and hope we'll see you all in Vienna!" |
We hope you are as excited as we are to gather in Vienna in a few weeks time. Make sure to check out the full agenda if you haven't already, pick out any talks that stand out to you, and put them in your calendar in preparation for what will be an absolutely AWEsome week at this year's #1 AR and VR conference.
