THE IDA NETWORK
The Ida Network is for women, non-binary and trans people working, or hoping to work, within the immersive XR sector.
We aim to celebrate and make space for this community, via arranging meet ups at various events and festivals. This is a safe, inclusive space for us to meet new people in our community, make new connections or even start a new collaboration or venture.
We are currently working with key partners across the UK to establish Ida Hubs. Ida Hubs are regional homes for the Ida Network to take residence, building grassroots Ida communities that respond to local needs.

Ida Orbit
Welcome to your Obit: Coming Soon in 2025
For some, it's not always possible to meet in person or attend an Ida Network event, making it hard to connect with new people. To help bridge this gap, we’re excited to introduce the Ida Orbit. Starting in 2025, we will facilitate informal, unstructured online meetings to help you connect one to one with new people and build community - wherever you are.
On signing up we will pair you with someone who you might not otherwise meet: we hope these pairings will help you in your career journey and for building a supportive and empowering network.
Please note this is not a formal mentoring opportunity, it's a way to expand your network and see where that might take you. Once paired it will be up to you and your partner to set a time to meet online, and from there it's up to you.
If you have any access questions or considerations you would like to make us aware of, you can include this on your sign up form. We want to make these spaces as supportive and accessible as possible so we will be actively working with our community to gain feedback and suggestions to make this programme successful for everyone.
