Mixed Reality Panel: Meet The Super Star Agency Owners
We're packing our headsets for the world's first ever Mixed Reality Marketing Summit produced by Mixed Reality Futurist and Influencer Cathy Hackl. Virtual and mixed reality is quickly becoming the next big thing in the digital marketing world with endless opportunities for brands to extend their creativity and reach. This conference represents a landmark event with influencers, disrupters and evangelists from the industry coming to talk about the opportunities, challenges and ideas surrounding AR/VR and MR.
The only thing that might shine brighter than mixed reality's potential are the power house speakers talking about it. Lisa Buyer will be moderating the agency roundtable featuring Johanna Salazar, Resh Sidhu, Miguel Sanchez, and Lucas Kappaz. We got to know a little more about their virtual beliefs, passions, and what made them the industry leaders they are today.

- Oh yikes, my memory is bad. I'm thinking of Disney World experiences from back when I was a child. But more recently what got me super excited for MR was a coloring book with racing cars, i colored my own cars and then the cars came to life with my phone and they were racing on my kitchen table and around my living room floor. It opened my mind to so much as a creative producer.

- Companies and industries will be going directly to consumers to test and pick products and brands. The late starters will be rushing to catch up. The industries that adopted these technologies early on will become the leaders in the space. Digitization will be of huge importance and data will become a huge priority for everyone.
