First-of-its-kind award is dedicated to celebrating the lifetime achievements of the most impactful individuals in the VR industry.
International – 07 November
This year, AIXR will present the inaugural VR Lifetime Achievement Award, sponsored by Accenture, at the third International VR Awards. Taking place on 11 November, 2019 at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London, this event is dedicated to celebrating outstanding achievement in the virtual reality industry.
Nominations and the judging process for this award follows a different process than the other 12 highly prestigious awards highlighted at the VR Awards ceremony. The winner, which will be announced ahead of the event, will be selected based on their impact on the industry through their life’s work.
“Our goal with the VR Awards has always been to inspire the next generation of pioneers, so what better way is there than to recognize the achievements of some of our industry’s most dedicated and innovative individuals? Accenture’s support for our work is allowing us to do more, recognizing people further afield, and nurturing a flourishing industry as it continues to grow.” – Daniel Colaianni, Chief Executive, AIXR
“Accenture sees Extended Reality (XR) as a technology that can change the way we learn, access data and services, collaborate, play and connect with people. Our Accenture XR practice is honored to be part of the VR Awards and to support leaders and innovators that are paving the way for this immersive future.” – Nicola Rosa, Accenture XR Lead – UK & Ireland
This exciting news comes ahead of a highly anticipated night of live entertainment and red carpet celebrations, so much so that AIXR has had to restrict ticket sales to 2019 finalists. To avoid missing out for VR Awards 2020, you can now register your interest via the VR Awards website.
