recognise amazing
work from Australia & around the world
We come from creative tech backgrounds. We’ve been speakers, award winners and event goers but we wanted to change the way creative tech festivals are run. Our primary focus is to showcase amazing creative work and ensure it gets seen by as many people as possible.
Introducing Festival Director Matt Kirby
I’ve founded and run the Qld XR Festival & Australian XR Festival(s), bringing the best of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Spatial Computing, Digital Art, Game Development, Animation, Creative AI… We now run events all year round both in-person and virtually. Qld XR Festival includes the internationally recognized Qld XR Festival Awards.
We are big believers in award submissions shape our festival, so spend a lot of time reviewing submissions to ensure we get the right mix of interactive experiences.
We try new ideas at warm up events to ensure we have fresh ideas for our main festivals so we always recommend coming along to those as well – you’ll hear about those on our social media.
We have several new cities planned in 2025 which will announce in the coming months.
