About us
VRTO (VirtualReality.TO) is a productivity-oriented think tank and discovery group for innovators, developers, inventors, storytellers, content producers, entrepreneurs, hackers, modders, programmers, pioneers, ontologists and adventurers.
It is also the organization behind the VRTO Virtual & Augmented Reality World Conference & Expo Canada's international immersive technologies nexus, and the FIVARS Festival of International Virtual & Augmented Reality Stories.
Toronto is a powerhouse for independent games development, technology and filmmaking and arts and culture. This meetup is targeted towards drawing the brightest and best, the curious and motivated, the adventurous and courageous together with the aim of pushing this paradigm-shifting new medium towards its best and upper limits.
VRTO Meetups are dynamic, disruption-seeking events designed to challenge its attendees, while providing a comfortable and engaging environment to do so. Sessions focus on practical, explorational, philosophical and technical discussions as well as content demos about contemporary virtual and augmented reality, opportunities and threats, blue sky and resource swapping, curated by the Editor-In-Chief of IndieGameReviewer.com, Constant Change Media Group (ConstantChangeMedia.com) and Robot Pride Day.
VRTO also hosts the Virtual & Augmented Reality World Conference & Expo in June - Canada's largest in 2016 and 2017 - and FIVARS (Festival of International Virtual and Augmented Stories) every September.

VRTO 2026 - Spatial Media World Conference & Expo
OCAD University, 100 McCaul St, Toronto, ON, CAVRTO returns to the heart of Toronto this summer, with amazing events including Video Games Month, FIFA, and many other incredible opportunities to meet folks and level up.
What VRTO does best is bring you face-to-face with the doers, designers, makers, outside-the-box thinkers, and opportunities.
With a third day added to the 2026 schedule, you can pick up a full conference pass or a 1-day pass for any of the three days. Or if you are more interested in the exhibits, a casual roam, and socializing, consider the economical wristband pass, which also gives you access to the second stage, where you will find interesting and actionable presentations on a variety of topics.
Whatever the case may be, we love to see the whole community come together from near and far to exchange the latest on all things related to the new spatial media.
This includes virtual production, avatars and virtual embodiment, generative AI and pair programming discussions from all sides, pedagogy and enterprise training, game and experience development, virtual and augmented reality, volumetric capture, and much more.
There are few shows as dedicated to these specialized disciplines as VRTO, and you can enjoy it at an easy-to-reach central location.
This event is presented here for community interest and meetup purposes. A ticket to the event must be purchased to gain admission at Eventbrite
All the info you need will be posted at https://conference.virtualreality.to, and we can't wait to see you at this very special event.
