What are the business applications of virtual worlds?
How will virtual worlds impact corporate IT in 2008 and the years ahead?
What are the opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs?
Featured speakers include Mike Vizard, Editorial Director for Ziff-Davis Enterprise and Chris Klaus, CEO of Kaneva, who will discuss the practical business applications today and potential future implications. Other proposed participants include a speaker from a Fortune 100 business that has embraced virtual technology; a nationally recognized creator of a virtual world who will participate virtually by sending an avatar; and a start-up company that has developed virtual reality training applications. A moderated panel discussion will follow the presentations.
