Speaking and Connecting

Over the past year, Raina and I have had the privilege of speaking at several conferences, connecting with educators, creative professionals, and business leaders across the state. Our mission is to help individuals and organizations engage with their audiences globally by creating immersive cross-reality (XR) events that are educational, engaging, and impactful, both in real life and digital spaces.
​
We've had the honor of presenting at various esteemed venues, including Think Up Consulting, the SC Association of Middle Level Educators (SCAMLE), the SC Arts Education Association (SCAEA), and the USC College of Engineering and Computing Spring Conference. In June, we'll be sharing our insights at The Media Arts Institute. Each of these opportunities has been incredibly meaningful to us, and we hope that our contributions have added value to the wonderful people we've had the chance to meet and speak with.

Community Engagement

We've already proudly shared our success, but we are excited to reflect on and improve our second iMAGINE Upstate "A Taste of the Metaverse" experience. While this year's event was a significant achievement, we recognize that there is always room for enhancement. Our team is dedicated to meticulously analyzing the feedback and experiences from this year to develop a comprehensive plan for next year's event. We are committed to innovating and rethinking our approach to ensure that "A Taste of the Metaverse" continues to grow, captivate, and inspire our audience in new and exciting ways.

Next Course

Moving forward, we are excited about several upcoming initiatives that will allow us to further our mission of connecting and engaging with diverse audiences. We plan to explore partnerships with SC Comicon, aiming to find innovative ways to collaborate and showcase their work in cross-reality (XR) projects to a broader audience. Additionally, we are targeting a presentation at the Association of Middle Level Educators (AMLE) conference, where we can share our insights and experiences with fellow educators and professionals. We also intend to host more Saturday SHOWCASE events, blending real-life and digital experiences to create memorable, educational, and interactive sessions. These efforts will help us continue to foster meaningful connections and advance the field of cross-reality events.
