Engage with HXR

HarvardXR is more than a conference. it’s a space to participate.

There’s more than one way to experience HXR. You can volunteer to join the team with free access, or become an ambassador and earn your ticket by helping promote the event. On-site, take part through live voting, passport stamp activities, and networking with the community.

The space is open, find your way to engage.

HXR 2026 Digital Map

The HarvardXR Digital Map is your mobile guide to the conference: an interactive floor plan of Gund Hall, live room info, a digital passport for stamps, and showcase voting—all in one place.

1. Log In

Audience (ticket holders):
Use First name, Last name, and the email you used to buy your ticket (registered email).

Guest (speakers, presenters, judges, sponsor)
Use Guest login and enter your ## lowercase ## full name exactly as shared with the HarvardXR team (same format as on the guest list).

Problems logging in?
If you are confirmed to attend but still cannot log in, go to check-in and scan the QR code there to self check in (and then go as an audience) and get help or access.

2. After you’re in — map, stamps, voting

Map
Open the interactive floor map to see rooms, tap a room for schedule and details, and find your way around Gund Hall.

Collect stamps (digital passport)
Visit sessions and locations as listed in the app. Collect digital stamps in your passport as you take part—your personal record of the day.

Vote
During the showcase, use the voting feature to pick your favorite project. One vote per person (enforced in the system).
