The vBusiness Expo is about to begin. A total of 35 speakers will participate over four days in an effort to answer one question: what is the practical purpose of virtual worlds?

From April 24th to 27th representatives from Kelly Services, IBM, Avnet, Sun Microsystems, Brand Games, Accelerate, Gartner, Forrester Research, SRI-BC and Linden Lab (to name just a few) will give lectures and participate in panels to make the business case for virtual worlds. SLED will also have a strong presence, bringing us educators who have practical experience applying virtual worlds to the task of training. We even have daily post-session entertainment lined up from Second Life's rich pool of amazing talent.

Response has been enthusiastic. So much so that it looks like we'll have to close registration early! It remains free to register, however, so sign up now to ensure your place. You do not want to miss this!
