Immersive North

MAY 07 2026 

Welcome to Immersive North.

Welcome to IMMERSIVE NORTH - a full-day convergence of research, industry, design, and experimentation at the frontier of Immersive Intelligence.

From the moment the doors open at 08:30, IMMERSIVE NORTH invites you into a living ecosystem of ideas and hands-on exploration. With live demonstration booths distributed across Epicenter, the Demo Arena runs throughout the day - a dynamic space for conversations, prototypes, and real-world applications. 

We begin by asking the defining question of our time: Why Immersive Intelligence - and why now? As AI reshapes how we think, and XR transforms how we perceive and interact, their convergence marks a fundamental shift in how we learn, work, heal, and build.

Across four thematic blocks on the Main Stage, we move from frontier research and emerging paradigms to real-world impact:

• Immersive Intelligence & Research — PhDs and pioneers unpacking new frameworks and future architectures.

• XR in Healthcare & Hospitals — Clinical training, patient outcomes, and immersive care environments.

• Learning, Education & Capability Building — From onboarding to lifelong development in immersive systems.

• Industry, Manufacturing & Complex Systems — AI + XR shaping the next generation of industrial work.

Parallel deep dives and workshops explore the practical dimensions: designing immersive learning journeys, deploying XR at scale, measuring ROI, building organizational readiness, and addressing ethics, trust, and human-centered design. 

IMMERSIVE NORTH is powered by Immersive Sweden - an initiative by Wisdome, Epicenter, and Lindholmen Science Park, funded by Vinnova. Together, these partners are accelerating the development, deployment, and adoption of immersive technologies across Sweden and beyond.

Welcome to the frontier - secure your spot today. 

Demonstration Booths

We are opening up a limited number of demonstration booths across Epicenter Stockholm for organizations building, testing, or applying XR, AI, and immersive systems in the real world. These booths are designed for dialogue, not display - for people who want to explore what works, what breaks, and what’s next. The booths are active during the conference on May 7 and remain open throughout May 8 in connection with the SIME conference, allowing conversations to continue, deepen, and mature over time. A maximum of 25 booths will be accepted. 

Tier 1 — Explorer Booth 
This tier is for teams who want a presence and are comfortable running lean. You bring your own setup — hardware, screens, devices, and demo material. We provide the space, access to the audience, inclusion in the official program and floor map, and participation in both conference days. This option suits startups, research teams, and early-stage initiatives that want to test interest, gather feedback, and be part of the ecosystem without overhead. 

Tier 2 — Curated Booth 
This tier removes friction and lets you focus on the conversation. We provide a ready-to-use booth setup including screen, power , and basic furniture. You bring your demo, story, and people. Your booth is positioned in a high-flow area and included in curated booth communication before and during the event. This option is ideal for teams who want a professional presence, smoother logistics, and more time spent in dialogue rather than setup. 

Tier 3 — Signature Booth
This is for organizations that want to make a statement and host deeper engagement. You receive a larger booth footprint with premium placement, multiple screens if needed, and space designed for extended demonstrations or small group discussions. The setup supports longer conversations, executive walk-ups, and return visits across both days. Signature booths are highlighted as key contributors to the Immersive Intelligence landscape and are suitable for companies with mature use cases, complex systems, or a strong point of view on where the field is heading.

Who This Is For

These booths are intended for organizations working hands-on with immersive technologies - not for polished sales showcases. We are looking for demos, prototypes, applied research, operational use cases, and honest explorations of impact in areas such as learning, healthcare, manufacturing, urban systems, and creative industries. If you are building something real and want to discuss it with people who understand the stakes, you belong here.

Why Be Part of This

You will meet a highly curated audience of decision-makers, researchers, practitioners, and builders who have already shared context through main-stage sessions and workshops. Conversations start at depth, not at introductions. This is about positioning yourself early in how Immersive Intelligence is defined - technically, socially, and commercially.
