Greater London Enterprise Awards (2025)

A Real Place is a revolutionary new technology for face-to-face networking in real life. People talk to each other in-person – and not through computers! There are countless ways to network online - ours is the first for networking in real-life. Social media is not very social – you’re just sitting alone at a screen! A Real Place uses Augmented Reality to create an exciting new space for people to talk to each other IRL. You scan the room with your mobile and you can see what people are talking about. A Real Place will become the real-life alternative to Facebook, Tik Tok and other traditional social media. Our mission is connecting people in real life. Conversation will become a new form of entertainment and a beautiful immersive experience. We will transform nightlife venues and conference centres into vibrant spaces for real human interaction.
