If you are involved in the extended reality (XR) and spatial AI spaces, you may be interested in nothing the fast-upcoming deadline for AWE USA 2026 registration. Ticket prices for AWE USA 2026, to be held in Long Beach, will increase by $300 when late pricing kicks in on Tuesday, June 2nd. The conference is expected to host over 5,000 attendees, 250+ key exhibitors, and 400+ speakers
According to the organizers, securing a pass early is recommended for maximizing the value of the investment. Early registration grants immediate access to the official event app, which is essential for planning smart matchmaking with the attendee list for targeted networking, customizing your schedule across 16 specialized tracks and hundreds of sessions, and registering for limited-capacity side events and hands-on activations before they reach full capacity.
Special discounted rates are available for students, startups, and gaming studios, which you can check on the main AWE 2026 event page by scrolling down to the different categories.
Another time-sensitive opportunity to consider is the second Community Hack at AWE, which is scheduled to run from June 8th to 18th, 2026. The objective is to build co-located experiences centered on joy and play.

Projects will target multiple platforms, including Snap Spectacles (for two dedicated teams), Meta Quest, XREAL/Android XR, Apple Vision Pro, and mobile devices.
