Forterra Systems and Clever Zebra Partner for vBusiness Expo

Submitted by Caleb Booker on Fri, 06/20/2008 - 13:58

The official press release went out yesterday about our partnership with Forterra Systems for the next vBusiness Expo. We're very excited about holding the event in the OLIVE™ platform; it's easy to use, has very reasonable system requirements, and some unique features that really set it apart from the others.

We also announced two of our speakers. Steve Prentice, VP of Research at Gartner Group will be giving a talk entitled "Virtual Worlds in Business - Are We Virtually There Yet?" which should be a good update on enterprise's activity in virtual worlds, as well as a risks and opportunities overview.

We'll also be hearing from Dr. O’Driscoll, Professor of the Practice in the Department of Management Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. He'll be discussing "Webvolution and the iWeb Singularity", which will examine how 3D internet technologies are redefining how we live, work and play.

This is only the first of many exciting announcements on the upcoming vBusiness Expo. Meanwhile, only registered users will be able to go, so be sure to get your name in early!

Hi Fabio,

Yes, participants will download OLIVE and log in through there. Don't worry, it will be quite a bit less complicated than using Second Life!

At this time there are no plans to use SL for the expo, but we'll post here if that changes.

Hi,
I've registered for the expo. What do I need to do to attend virtually?
I'd like to familiarize myself with your OLIVE thing before the expo if possible.
