Kristine Kvam to Present Onboarding without Borders at AWE Asia 2026

Written by Maren Framnes | 1/23/26 10:14 AM

As global organizations continue to scale across borders, the way we onboard and train people must evolve. At AWE Asia 2026, Kristine Kvam, our very own CTO, will present the session “Onboarding without Borders”, exploring how collaborative XR training is reshaping global onboarding and professional development.

The session will address a growing challenge for enterprise and industrial organizations: how to efficiently train large, distributed teams without relying on costly travel, centralized training centers, or fragmented learning experiences. Kristine will demonstrate how multiplayer XR platforms enable teams from different countries to train together in shared immersive environments, building practical skills, shared understanding, and stronger collaboration regardless of physical location.

 

XR should complement, not replace other training tools

Drawing on real-world use cases, the presentation will highlight how XR supports repeatable procedure training, spatial learning, and social interaction across borders. At the same time, it emphasizes a critical mindset shift: XR should complement, not replace, other learning tools. Text-heavy materials, videos, and physically demanding tasks still belong on traditional platforms or in the real world, while XR delivers the greatest value where presence, interaction, and repetition matter most.

The session will also explore the infrastructure required to succeed with XR at scale, both technically and pedagogically. From managing user expectations to integrating XR into existing training ecosystems, attendees will gain practical insight into how organizations can build scalable, accessible onboarding programs that work across regions and cultures.

Join Kristine at AWE Asia 2026 for her session "Onboarding without Borders" that will be part of the Enterprise & Industrial and Collaboration, Education & Training tracks. Connect with her in Singapore to discuss how collaborative XR can transform onboarding, training, and global collaboration for organizations.

Whether you are exploring XR for the first time or looking to scale existing training, Kristine would love to meet and share insights from real-world deployments using Fynd CORE.
