VANCOUVER, British Columbia, January 27, 2021. With over 40-years of Location Based Entertainment (LBE) experience, Steven Dooner will play a pivotal role in fulfilling Immersive Tech’s goal of leading the LBVR industry to new heights.

With Dooner’s business expertise, industry knowledge, and promising agenda to expand Immersive Tech’s influence, the virtual reality company has much to look forward to. Immersive Tech is thrilled to have Dooner join the crew as a core contributor to its growth initiative and become a major asset to the UNCONTAINED franchise.
Immersive Tech has successfully swept the LBVR world with its announcement of UNCONTAINED, a riveting, realistic attraction that offers a captivating VR experience inside a COVID safe shipping container.

Immersive Tech’s CEO Tim Bieber says “Steven Dooner is an exceptional executive with a sincere drive for innovation and progressing the LBE industry forward.” He adds “with experience spanning over 40-years, from the inception of Chuck E. Cheese franchise scale in the mid 70’s to senior positions launching many of Disney’s LBE initiatives including a $1.5B Tokyo Disney park expansion, he is a literal Guru in the industry and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on our team.” His role as Director of Franchise Development will steamroll the franchise into impressive achievements, previously unfilled by The VOID.
With over four decades of experience in the Location-Based Entertainment space, Dooner has more experience than almost anyone in the industry. His prior role as Development & Deployment chief for The VOID has empowered Immersive Tech with an innovative approach to franchising its attraction. Dooner’s remarkable record of career accomplishments showcase his most notable franchise endeavors involving the expansion of distinguished entities like Chuck E Cheese, ESPNZone, and a series of Disney launches such as Club Disney, DisneyQuest, and the major expansion of Tokyo Disneyland. His commendable growth management skills, leadership proficiency, and mere mastery of business buildout has fueled Immersive Tech’s confidence to branch out.
Dooner states that “Having spent my entire career in this industry, I have seen a variety of innovative concepts come to market. In some cases, an existing concept is enhanced and refined to the point where it sets itself apart from the rest. The Uncontained experience is one such concept. Not only do they encompass the latest and best technology, but they have successfully addressed many of the capital and logistical concerns of the operator.” Dooner’s support will navigate Immersive Tech on a prosperous path with an effective business model, to further establish the company throughout both the LBVR and collaborative entertainment sectors.
