About WIIT

At Women in Immersive Tech Europe, our vision is to create an inclusive network of talented women who are driving Europe’s virtual, augmented and mixed reality sectors. 

We want our network to break barriers and to be an inspiration for Women in Immersive Technologies all over the world. The WIIT community is a place to connect, meet like-minded women from across Europe, and find the resources to learn and grow.

Also, the group has appointed 8 local ambassadors across Europe. 

The main channel of connecting and sharing is a Facebook group that today counts almost 3,000 members of which 88% are identified as female.
