The primary objective of this session is to expose you to the world's most advanced virtual reality (VR) technology and open your mind to a variety of use cases like education, corporate training, empathy, and social change. This event will include social “play time”, hosted heavy apps, and a cash bar with local craft beer and wine.  The event will include a panel discussion with VR industry experts and and early VR adopters in education and diversity/inclusion, moderated by Target’s Cultural and Consumer Futurist. The format is accessible for those just curious about VR to those who already have significant experience with the medium.
