Fireside chat with immersive tech leader, Simone Clow, and AI expert, Marcy Larsen

​In this exclusive invite-only session for ALIAVIA Ventures LPs and Founders, Simone Clow and Marcy Larsen will walk through the core technologies that are enabling the next wave of human-computer interaction - spatial computing, wearables, real-time systems, and what they mean for business.

We will look at practical use cases across our portfolio companies, from how stage shows are becoming interactive environments, to how retail spaces are using AI to adapt in real time to customer behavior. 

​We’ll also dive into the rise of AI discoverability, including AI-powered search and overviews, and discuss how product companies can build durable moats in a world increasingly shaped by vibe coding.

​It’s not about hype, it’s about understanding how physical and digital are blending, and what that means for customer engagement, infrastructure, and future planning.
