MRPP Levels

Within the Mixed Reality Partners program, we find three levels: member, silver, and gold, successively. Category changes are reviewed quarterly or twice a year, depending on the level you are at.

Membership is the most basic level and provides access to more limited benefits, such as attendance at webinars and updates, access to mixed-reality marketing assets, and usage guidance.

Silver and Gold share many requirements and criteria for accessing these categories, but what sets them apart is the number of annual sales of HoloLens 2 devices or influenced sales.
