Hi M***a, Glad to hear it’s helpful. Here’s a bit more color: VR vendors & platforms for the APAC pilot - Hardware: we’re shortlisting a global enterprise headset provider known for large-scale deployments plus a strong APAC-focused specialist with local support. - Software: we’re piloting U***y X***R T***t alongside a purpose-built web-VR event platform that handles hundreds of concurrent users. Sneak peek at marquee sponsors in advanced talks - APAC: a leading cloud-infrastructure provider, a major device OEM and a top regional telecom operator. - EMEA & Americas: we’ve also engaged a global cloud platform, an enterprise-software leader and a semiconductor vendor,each in late-stage discussions for Q4 activation. I can send you a one-pager with full vendor names, demo timelines and sponsor logos ahead of our call, or walk through the details live on Wednesday. Let me know what works best! Best, J***e

Hi M***a, Please find attached a concise one-pager covering: 1. Headset vendors • M***o (enterprise edition) • P***e 2. Web-VR platform specs • Built on U***y X***R T***t + M***a H***s • Supports 500+ concurrent users, spatial audio, custom 3D environments • Sub-20 ms latency, 60 FPS per eye, single-sign-on integration with our event portal 3. APAC sponsor logos • H***d (cloud-infrastructure lead) • S***g (device OEM partner) • N***o (regional telecom operator) Let me know if you’d like any tweaks before our call on Wednesday. Looking forward to diving into potential activations with you! Best, J***e

Hi M***a, Great questions,here’s how it works: 1. Direct customization access - We partner with a core dev team to maintain the engine and infrastructure, but we fully expose the U***y X***R T***t and M***a H***s editor to your events team. You’ll receive editor licenses and a brief onboarding session so your designers can drop in custom 3D assets, spatial audio zones, sponsor booths and interactive widgets directly,no gatekeeping required. For deeper engine tweaks (e.g. new physics modules), our dev partner remains the primary owner, but day-to-day branding and layout updates are in your hands. 2. Sponsor exclusivity & creative guidelines - H***d: category-exclusive cloud partner. You’ll need to follow their brand guidelines around color usage, logo clear space, messaging hierarchy and avoid featuring any competing cloud brands. - S***g: sole device OEM. All virtual device mockups or “device lounge” activations must use S***g-approved 3D models and UI skins; no other hardware logos or device types may appear. - N***o: exclusive telecom provider. They’ve supplied a short set of do’s and don’ts around phrasing (e.g. avoid competitor mentions), logo placement and co-branding lockups. I’ll send over each sponsor’s guideline pack before our call so you can start mapping activations. If you’d like to walk through these with our Virtual Events Lead or Sponsor Relations Manager, let me know,we can slot in a quick 15-minute sync. Looking forward to refining your ideas on Wednesday! Best, J***e

Hi M***a, You’ll receive all guideline packs,including full creative specs for H***d, S***g and N***o,by end of day tomorrow. In parallel, we’ll provision a dedicated sandbox/test environment (URL, credentials and documentation), with five editor seats ready for your design team. I’ll loop in our Global Virtual Events Lead on this thread so we can schedule a quick 15-minute sync to map out review cycles and deadlines. Please let me know your availability over the next few days, and we’ll make it happen. Looking forward to moving ahead! Best, J***e
