Over 1,500 visitors attended the two-day 'Connect! Expand! Virtual Talk Relay' event held at Virtual Hiroshima Station 2.u on VRChat in June 2026. The event featured 74 speaker groups and over 20 hours of streaming, organized by Tweet V Inc. The talk sessions aimed to connect creators and communities active on VRChat, offering a case study for community activation in corporate virtual spaces.
The event used a relay format where each speaker introduced the next, a structure designed to build connections between creators across genres and encourage post-event collaboration. Tweet V Inc., which has been managing community activity for Virtual Hiroshima Station 2.u on X and Discord, applied its understanding of the VRChat community to plan the event and facilitate interaction. The result was over 20 hours of streaming content featuring 74 speaker groups, with visitors totaling over 1,500. The initiative is presented as a model for keeping corporate virtual spaces active after launch by centering on people rather than the space itself.
