Bigger. Bolder. More immersive than ever.

Belfast XR Festival 2025 was a major step up — and the energy, reach and impact spoke for themselves.

A huge thank you to our production partners at Aura Digital, all of our incredible speakers and expert guests, and the funders and supporters who helped make it all possible.

And of course, to everyone who attended any of our sell-out events this year - from the learners to the ravers (and everyone in between!).

Here’s a look back at some of the moments that made this year unforgettable.
