We are pleased to inform you that the 3rd UN Virtual Worlds Day will take place on 11-12 May 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland, at the headquarters of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
The 3rd UN Virtual Worlds Day brings together governments, cities, UN entities, industry, and experts to explore how virtual worlds, spatial intelligence, and the Citiverse enabled by AI can support trusted digital transformation. Discussions will focus on how cities can use AI-enabled immersive environments to plan neighbourhoods, manage energy systems and prepare communities for emerging forms of work.
The event aims to translate global digital commitments into practical, measurable and people-centred outcomes in the age of AI and immersive technologies, highlighting the role of international standards and multistakeholder collaboration.
In this context, a Call for Interest is open for cities and regions wishing to present their innovative initiatives.
The call is open to:
- Elected executive leaders (mayors, governors, regional presidents)
- Chief Digital, Data or AI Infrastructure Officers
Selected speakers will be invited to present their city’s AI-enabled initiatives and contribute to high-level discussions on global digital governance.
Travel support to/from Geneva will be provided for selected speakers (limited resources, first come first served; arrival on 10 May and departure on 12 May 2026).
