Augmented World Expo 2024 gets under way in Long Beach

Augmented World Expo 2024 gets under way today as a show where the XR community gathers for news at a new location in Long Beach, California.

The 15th annual event has more than 300 exhibitors, 500 speakers, 150,000 square feet of expo space and as many as 6,000 attendees. I’ve often gone to the event but will miss it this year due to a plethora of travel and its move from Silicon Valley to Los Angeles. But I did get a nice preview of the event.
