As immersive technologies continue to transform how we interact with information, places, and history, events that bring together researchers, innovators, creators, and industry leaders are becoming increasingly important for shaping Europe’s digital future.
Immersive Tech Week 2026, taking place from 24–28 November 2026 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, is one of Europe’s leading gatherings dedicated to XR, spatial computing, AI, digital worlds, and immersive experiences.
The event offers a unique opportunity to explore how emerging technologies are redefining industries and creating new possibilities for research, education, creativity, and cultural heritage.
Why it matters for the cultural heritage sector
Immersive technologies are opening up new ways to document, reconstruct, interpret, and experience cultural heritage. From virtual reconstructions of historic sites and cities to interactive storytelling environments and AI-enhanced digital twins, these technologies are helping heritage professionals engage audiences in entirely new ways.
For the Time Machine community, these developments are particularly relevant. As digital twins become increasingly sophisticated and immersive, they offer powerful tools for exploring historical environments, visualising urban transformation, and making Europe’s rich cultural heritage more accessible to researchers and the public alike.
What to expect
Immersive Tech Week brings together a diverse international community of experts working across technology, research, culture, business, and the creative industries.
Participants can look forward to:
- Inspiring keynote presentations from leading innovators and thought leaders
- Showcases of the latest developments in XR, AI, and spatial computing
- Discussions on the future of immersive technologies and digital worlds
- Networking opportunities with professionals from across Europe and beyond
- Hands-on demonstrations of emerging applications and tools
Whether you are interested in digital heritage, virtual worlds, urban digital twins, immersive storytelling, or the future of human-computer interaction, Immersive Tech Week offers valuable insights into the technologies shaping tomorrow’s experiences.
