Entering new digital realities: The first DIGILITY in Cologne successfully celebrated its debut with more than 1.000 guests

Cologne / Germany, September 24, 2016 – For two days, experts from all over the world were discussing digital trends and innovations regarding new technologies such as VR, AR, 360° imaging up to artificial intelligence. DIGILITY was conceptualized as a B2B event which covers all aspects of the entire value chain of VR and AR.

Under the motto “WELCOME TO THE CAPITAL OF DIGITAL REALITY. GUIDING THE FUSION OF REAL AND DIGITAL”, Koelnmesse was the host of more than 1.000 guests giving them the opportunity to get unique insights into AR and VR as well as acquiring new business contacts. On two main stages and in several workshops and panels DIGILITY offered an extensive overview from how to leverage AR/VR successfully; how to develop new business models; which are the techniques to generate innovative user experiences; how are startups developing and growing in different industries and where are large investments expected in the nearest future?

„At DIGILITY all industries – from medicine to journalism, from automotive to logistics, from research and education to entertainment – are represented and this mirrors the huge interest and also repertoire and chances of the technologies of augmented and virtual reality. We are glad, that we had the right instinct to create the new and urgently needed European place to be for all experts and along the value chain of AR and VR: developers from the hardware and software industry, marketers, sales representatives, researchers as well as decision makers and digital enthusiasts from several industries. It was the right decision to create this premiere event in Cologne, the European capital of digital media exhibition and conferences”, says Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse.
