Explore What’s Next in Immersive Storytelling, Visualization, and Experience Design

The WorldViewer Network Conference brings together creators, educators, technologists, and experience designers who are shaping the future of immersive environments. Designed as a curated, small‑group gathering, this event prioritizes meaningful conversation, hands-on access to systems, and real collaboration over crowded conference halls. Join us in Denver for two days of exploration, practical learning, and real-world case studies focused on how immersive spaces drive engagement, learning, and impact.

Taking place immediately following Dome Fest West, the conference offers a more intimate setting where attendees can go deeper, test ideas directly on working systems, and connect with peers in a focused environment dedicated to dome innovation and immersive storytelling.

Join Us in Denver – Register by March 27th

Whether you are planning your first immersive project or expanding an existing program, this conference offers a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and build alongside a growing global network of immersive creators.

Registration includes access to all sessions, demonstrations, collaborative workshops, and networking events. Space is intentionally limited to keep sessions interactive and hands-on.

Special Collaboration and Sponsorship

Tau Immersive will be joining us as a featured partner for this year’s WorldViewer Network Conference, sponsoring three in-depth OpenSpace learning sessions designed to help users get the most out of immersive storytelling and real-time exploration. Led by Dan Tell, formerly of the California Academy of Sciences’ Morrison Planetarium, these sessions offer a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the field’s most experienced OpenSpace practitioners. As part of the ongoing collaboration between Tau Immersive and Elumenati, the teams worked together to develop the new Night Sky tour controls in OpenSpace v21.3, bringing intuitive, easy-to-use planetarium presentation tools to the platform. During the conference, Dan will guide attendees through creating compelling night sky tours, exploring GlobeBrowsing with high-resolution terrain data to transport audiences across Earth and the Solar System, and building interactive presentations using the new OpenSpace ShowComposer tools. Together, these sessions will provide both inspiration and practical, hands-on skills for anyone looking to elevate their immersive presentations.  We are excited to continue to partner with Tau Immersive!
