NeXT Summit
The global gathering for immersive entertainment — connecting creators, technologists, investors, and venue operators shaping the next generation of experience.
NeXT Summit bridges the gap between creative vision and commercial reality. Each edition assembles the industry's most forward-thinking companies — from real-time engines and spatial computing to venue design and cultural IP — for keynotes, panels, and hands-on workshops that turn ideas into funded, built experiences.
What makes it different
A curated, invite-forward programme that prioritises depth over scale — every session is designed to move projects forward.
Cross-industry curation
Entertainment, technology, real estate, and investment in one room — not siloed tracks, but shared sessions that surface unexpected partnerships.
Deal-oriented format
Structured matchmaking, project showcases, and investor roundtables ensure conversations lead to signed LOIs, not just名片 exchange.
Global + local balance
International headliners paired with regional operators who know the market — so global trends meet local execution realities.
