vBusiness July Sold Out!

Submitted by Caleb Booker on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 09:59

UPDATE: As of 7/28/2008 vBusiness July is officially sold out! If you didn't get in, too bad, but we'll be back in the fall. Keep an eye on this site and the latest updates at Clever Zebra for news of sessions being posted online in September, and other events.

The vBusiness Expo, presented together with partners Kelly Services and Forterra Inc will be the first event of its kind held in an installation of Forterra's OLIVE

Who should attend?

A group of very smart people who were some steps ahead of the pack recently attended the first vBusiness Expo. They consisted of C-level executives, key decision makers and decision influencers charged with leading their organizations into Web3D. They came from all over the world, yet no one left their office to attend.

"The vBusiness Expo provided an in-depth examination of the many complex issues involved in doing business in Second Life and other virtual worlds. The selection and variety of panelists was outstanding."

-- Walter Neary, Public Relations Director, Washington state, Comcast

They knew that vBusiness Expo was aimed exclusively at the enterprise, and that the best place to hold such an event was in a virtual world. There would be no talk of kids worlds however, no 3D social nets, and absolutely no blood elves.

They wanted a virtual worlds conference for business, and that's what they got..

If you weren't lucky enough to have been present when IBM, Forrester Research, Sun Microsystems, Gartner Group and more than 30 others came together to discuss virtual worlds at the April event, you'll certainly want to reserve your place for the next vBusiness Expo.

Come to vBusiness Expo if you are...

A C-Level exec responsible for virtual worlds strategy for your company
A media or marketing manager charged with exploring Web3D
An evangelist or web team member who needs to convince managers of the business value of virtual worlds

If you don't fall into one of those categories then the vBusiness Expo is not for you. If you're unsure, then feel free to drop us a line and ask. We'll try to help you.
