TESTIMONIALS
"VRTO was a profound experience. Not only was there a fantastic array of impressive and insightful presentations, but the calibre of all speakers and attendees was extremely high. I met a tremendous number of like-minded and super passionate industry people, but even more importantly, the connections were meaningful."
Christian Hurst
"What a fabulously interesting, thought provoking, CREATIVE experience this turned out to be. What really makes VRTO stand out is the depth of sustained interaction you get with other attendees; conversations are much deeper and "real" than I've every had at other events."
Linda Ricci
"This is a great virtual version of the greatest VR conference in the world (and I've been to a few, believe me)!"
Brett Leonard
"Kudos to Keram and VRTO crew for putting on the most awesome conference ever. I got so much out of this event, in so many ways. It also provided a much needed socializing/networking fix during these times of isolation."
Gerry Paquette
"Keram Malicki-Sanchez thank you for always thinking outside the box, pushing boundaries, pioneering new models of creative exchange, and making space for innovative thinkers outside the mainstream."
Nancy Baker-Cahill
