We’re looking for the best work across all sectors to feature at the Symposium.  We’ll take research, products, advocacy case studies – anything that showcases the potential of accessible XR to our diverse audience.  Presentations can come in the following forms:

• Talk – speak on the main stage to our full Symposium audience. Talks will be 20-30 minutes including Q&A, and will be shared publicly via our YouTube.
• Poster – condense your ideas into a 2′ x 3′ poster, which will be displayed in our exhibition hall. You will have the opportunity to share your poster and a video explanation of it to our online audience.
• Demo – showcase an interactive example of accessible XR technology in our exhibition hall. We provide table, wifi, and electricity; you bring everything else.

It’s OK to submit work previously published in other venues, as the Symposium’s focus is on spreading new techniques and best practices through the broader XR community.  We encourage people at every level to apply; at least one speaking slot will go to our best student submission. Email info@xraccess.org if you have questions about your application.

XR Access is able to provide a limited amount of scholarships for those who would otherwise be unable to attend the Symposium. In addition to waiving the registration fee, last year we were able to provide reimbursements for up to $400 in travel & lodging expenses, or up to $700 for nonprofit or university non-student staff and faculty.  Scholarships are prioritized for presenters, as well as for those from marginalized backgrounds including lived experience of disability.

Volunteers are a vital part of making our Symposium possible, and our volunteers receive valuable back-stage experience and contacts. Volunteers will also have their registration fee waived.
