As one of Europe’s forward-looking platforms dedicated to exploring the future of immersive creativity, Immersive Tech Week has just launched its Call for Speakers for the 2026 edition.

This year’s programme invites founders, artists, researchers, and innovators to contribute their vision to a vibrant international dialogue on how emerging technologies are reshaping the creative and cultural landscape.

Building on its mission to explore the intersections of art, technology, and society, ITW introduces the 2026 Innovation Pillars, a set of thematic lenses guiding its investigation into the next generation of immersive tools and experiences. These pillars frame the broad spectrum of innovation the event seeks to explore: from expressive virtual humans capable of interacting with audiences, to highly detailed digital twins that replicate real spaces, bodies, or systems to transform the way we design, rehearse, and create.

Through this call, ITW 2026 aims to gather diverse voices who are pushing boundaries, those experimenting with intelligent systems, developing new artistic methodologies, or researching the ethical and societal implications of our shift toward hybrid, augmented worlds. It is an invitation to help shape how creativity, business, and community life will coexist as immersive technologies continue to evolve.

For artists, cultural organisations, and supporters committed to innovation in the arts, this represents a unique opportunity to connect with a cross-disciplinary ecosystem and to bring performing arts perspectives into a wider conversation on digital futures.
