Earlier this year, we announced Passage Elite: the premiere product of the Passage Platform.
An enterprise-grade solution built for offering unmatched virtual experiences, Elite makes it effortless to host and manage immersive, private virtual events and experiences.
Today, we are excited to officially open the doors for Passage Elite Alpha, bringing in our first wave of partners who can now deploy their own events right from the dashboard!
“Passage is a revolution in virtual communication. Never before has immersion like this been accessible outside gaming, VR & AR. Passage opens the door for casual and enterprise applications like team collaboration, sales, and content creation—no downloads and no special hardware required. The potential impact of this one-click interaction is hard to fathom, and we are so excited to see where our first partners take it."
– Lex Avellino, Passage Founder & CEO
Elite Virtual Events
Elite pairs the best of Passage worlds with a user-friendly dashboard and all the admin tools you need to host better virtual events.

Features available in Alpha include:
- User administration tools
