Net Talking Festival

Net Talking Festival (ネットおしゃべりフェス) is a Japanese Vtuber meet and greet online event, started in February 2019. The events are organized by PANORA Pro Co., Ltd., a Japanese virtual and augmented reality company.

The events feature an online call and live event component.

Meet and Greets
Fans who pay for a ticket can talk with their Vtuber of choice one-on-one in a Zoom call for one minute. Fans aren't expected to show their faces on camera; those who don't want to can either use an avatar (static image or Vtuber) or turn off their camera. Cosplay is also encouraged. After the meet and greet, there's an optional group call for participants to discuss their experiences and for social drinking.

Kamidana Livestream
In parallel with the meet and greets, the Net Talking Festival events feature free YouTube livestreams with Vtubers. Fans can buy gifts for their favorite VTuber through a special Booth store during the event and see the Vtubers receive the gifts in real time. The Vtubers are featured on transparent screens and interact with non-virtual PANORA staff members in front of a greenscreen background. The purchasable gifts include food, drinks, flowers, and household appliances, which are shown on a table in front of the Vtuber's screen. The streams are named after kamidana (神棚), small shrines for Shinto gods where prayers and offerings are presented.
