HISTORY

In 2013, Benjamin de Wit, Festival Director and Co-Founder, discovered the endless possibilities that VR/AR have to offer and its potential to change the world. This sparked joy, creativity and purpose within him. 

He wanted to create a playground, test ground and launchpad for the creators of the future world. Together with Co-Founder Daan Kip he wanted to build them a community. This led them to found the foundation Stichting Dutch Virtual Reality Days, the organisation behind VRDays Europe. 

Since then, we have built a strong community of VR/AR enthusiasts and professionals for everyone doing business, science and arts; a space where explorative minds meet and build the worlds of tomorrow. 

We create a world where realities meet.
