The Network
The Immersive Experience Network (IEN) supports the growth of the UK’s immersive entertainment sector by fostering a collaborative community of creators and producers.
The network is a space for open exchange—where members generously share insights on creative development, live operations, and marketing, helping to spark new ideas and drive the sector forward.

Who is the Network for?
The Immersive Experience Network is for creators and producers involved in creating live immersive, interactive and playable experiences.
We have a broad range of members working in the subsidised arts sector through to large commercial themed attraction operators and brand agencies.
We have creators from across the immersive genres spanning theatre, escape rooms, larp, immersive art and location based VR/AR experiences – and all the grey areas in between.
Our community is encouraged to generously share their knowledge and experience of the creative development of experiences, live operations, and marketing of immersive work.
We aim to provide a space where the cross pollination of ideas and experiences can help spark new collaborations and help fuel the growth of the immersive sector by sharing our successes and mistakes.
