2016 was rough. A gorilla died, trolls ruled the earth, and we lost more than our fair share of icons and legends. But, thankfully, every year eventually comes to a close and as this one prepares to wind up we can turn our attention to the bright (slightly denial-fueled) promise of 2017 — and it’s kicking off with a bang for VR.
CES is upon us and as long as you’re not a journalist preparing to cover it (hold on, let me pop my fourth Xanax of the day) this gargantuan show should be a non-stop thrill ride. To celebrate the huge VR milestones of 2016, and to usher in what looks to be an even bigger year for our industry coming up next, UploadVR is throwing our biggest party yet right in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
Thanks to our friends at Audi, we’ll be taking over the two top floors of the world famous Palms resort hotel. The main event kicks off on Friday, January 6th at 10PM PST. This will include:
- Over 20 VR demo experiences across the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, PS VR, Samsung Gear VR, and Daydream by Google
- 2 Floors at the top of The Palms Fantasy Tower: The View and The Moon
- Network with VR/AR Industry Influencers, Executives, and Investors
- Interactive Art Installations
- Opening Live Musical Performance by Lapa (Ilya Goldberg) followed by a celebrity DJ in The View (Full lineup announced Jan 2nd)
- House DJ Set by SUBPAC in The Moon
- The Fourth Transformation Book Signing with Robert Scoble and Shel Israel
- Mixed Reality Studio with an Audi VR Experience
There will also be an early-bird VIP mixer from 8PM-10PM. Attendees there will get to enjoy:
- Early access to event to mingle with VR/AR Executives, Influencers, and Investors
- Open Bar
- Exclusive first look at VR demos and activations
- Presentation by Upload and Audi at 9PM
In addition to all of this, we’re also going to be giving away some of the hottest VR gear in the world to a few lucky participants. Guests who tweet #UploadParty during the event, or share a photo from the photo booth, will be entered for a chance to win:
- An NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Graphics Card
- Helix Cuff wireless headphones form Ashley Chloe
- An HTC Vive VR headset
Tickets are on sale now for both the VIP mixer and the main event! So stop on by, enjoy an amazing evening and lets make 2017 a year to remember!
