Calling all XR innovators, creators, and enthusiasts!
Join us for the XR Party of the year. Connect with the brightest minds in the industry, fresh off the XRAI Hack Cologne, ready to make Gamescom magic.
Get inspired by cutting-edge XR demos (winners of the XRAI Hack Cologne 2025), fuel your creativity with free food and drinks, and make connections that matter.
This party tops three days of awesome hacking frenzy: XRAI Hack - as the first global XR Champions League - just kicked off in Cologne right before Gamescom. With over 520 XR and AI Developers , the Cologne edition just came to an end. If you want to join the XR AI Hackathon on 18-20 August 2024, please sign up here.
This party is also the culmination of what Christian, Thomas, and many more thought about joining Devcom and Gamescom year by year: Why is there no big gathering of the XR industry?
Now there is. 😊
Not only are we celebrating the kick-off of the global XR Hackathon, mingling with all sponsors, partners, mentors, advisors participants, and judges (full list at xrhack.com), you will also get the chance to look at the winner projects of the Hackathon exhibiting across the space!
