The world’s leading immersive storytelling event is happening on Staten Island, October 6–8. We’re talking

  • Over 100 exhibits—many of them world premieres—including the best in VR, AR, mixed reality, haptics, AI, games, and interactive films
  • The latest immersive technologies from Microsoft, Oculus, Samsung, and others
  • Panel conversations with some of the hottest voices from the worlds of media, entertainment, technology, education, and marketing

At the heart of FoST are two signature events. The two-day, invitation-only FoST Summit gathers top thinkers and practitioners from diverse fields to share ideas and experiences shaping the storytelling landscape. FoST Festival, open to the public, features VR and AR experiences, tech demos, a multiperson VR theater, panel conversations, live performances, interactive games, and much more.

In addition to the Summit and Festival, FoST also produces a wide range of content and programming, such as curated exhibitions; an annual series of short films; regular influencer salons, tech tastings, and storytelling workshops; and a popular blog and other social media content aimed at FoST’s network of over half a million enthusiastic followers.
