Forbes published the article, VR Takes The Stage As Conferences Cancel by Charlie Fink, Contributor, stating, “…the first Educators in VR Summit took place in Microsoft’s AltSpace VR. Over six days, 170 speakers took the virtual stage in 150 events. Over 2,000 people attended. Organizer Daniel Dyboski-Bryant characterized the event as an unqualified success.” – Forbes

On February 20th Dr. Josh Cohen and Dana Maria-Faneker from Your Digital Storytelling Project and Captain VR, in association with Peer Mental Health and Painted Brain, presented live at USC’s IGM Art Gallery at the Keck School of Medicine and in Virtual Reality at the Educators in VR International Summit.

The international Summit was mentioned in Forbes and other media outlets as an innovative way to continue having conferences after the COVID-19 has caused many cancellations.
