3D Learning Conference

Thanks to Greg for the tip to visit the 3D Training, Learning and Collaboration in Washington in April. The conference is a major event for businesses looking to understand and maximize business strategies using virtual worlds. Media blurb: Topics range from the general use of virtual worlds in the workplace to specific examples of applications for e-Learning, onboarding, sales training, collaboration, meetings, and more. Attendees will hear valuable insight, information, and best practices about what innovators and early adopter organizations are doing right now, including what works and why. I like the mention of onboarding - somthing I would like to explore further using a virtual training centre. Interesting set of speakers from BP, J&J and Chevron. So nice representation from movers and shakers trying to make a difference in their companies (I get turned off vendor-only presentations, so nice to see real companies playing in this new and untested space). Now all I need to do is wrangle a ticket from my boss.
