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.
The group was launched in May 2016 and turned into an NGO based in Brussels in March 2018. The group is co-founded by Leen Segers (Miles Ahead), Ioana Matei (P&G Head of Immersive Technologies), Sara Lisa Vogl (Consultant & Speaker on VR/AR, WEF Global Future Council VR/AR Member, VR UX Designer) and Vera Grablechner (Digital Innovation and Business Consulting, myCulture). 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. We wish to leverage this group into a unique brand that truly empowers women and other minorities with a shared passion for the extended realities industry. This is where you will come in.
