It was announced today that the 3rd 'ARVR Innovate Conference and EXPO' will take place at Dublin’s Croke Park Conference Centre on Thursday, April 28th.  
 
The conference is the brainchild of Alex Gibson, a lecturer at DIT and broadcaster. It brings business audiences interested in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality together. 
 
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experts – including veteran visual effects luminary Don Levy - from the US, UK and Europe will share their advice and knowledge on how they have paved the way in revolutionising how creativity and technology combine, demonstrating how it is being incorporated into our lives.
 
A number of distinct spotlight panels have been arranged for the Engineering, Industrial, Immersive, Construction and Property sectors. 
 
Latest market predictions for the use of augmented and virtual reality indicate a growth in expected sales from current levels of less than $10bn this year  to $150bn over the next five years, as the industry gears up for mainstream adoption. 
 
It is anticipated that the conference will attract significant interest from agencies who have an influential role on client technology deployment. Included in this group are Digital Marketing Agencies, Business and Technology Consultancies, Branding and Marketing Consultants, Software Development Consultants
 
Organiser, Alex Gibson, today commented, "This year’s conference is all about the business of delivering effective applications, based around augmented and virtual reality technologies, that add real value across multiple industry sectors."  

He added, "With visionaries such as Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg predicting AR and VR to be the next major technology platform to come along within the next decade, the time to experiment and experience the potential for this amazing technology is now."
