Key moments
We Enter Together
In this year’s ceremony introduction we wanted to look back at a timeline of technological growth, before looking forward to the monumental steps we will take together as we enter the metaverse.
Opening Entertainment
Our 6th International VR Awards entertainment was provided by Andromeda Entertainment, who took to the stage in an incredible display that combined VR with aerial acrobatic excellence.
Opening Ceremony
Daniel Colaianni, one of the original co-founders of the VR Awards, took to the stage to open our 6th Ceremony. Daniel’s speech was reflective, and enfused with a strong celebration of the values of community and collaboration.
