Schedule: Enterprise Round Tables
Room 4
By popular demand we have added an Enterprise Virtual Worlds Round Table Discussion Track. Companies are exploring how virtual worlds can be used to strengthen their communication with customers, business partners and internally with employees. This discussion track focuses on best practices for large scale enterprises interested in adopting virtual worlds platforms.
This will be an informal track, unlike the other sessions and lectures, you will have the opportunity to freely share experiences, ask questions of other participants, and offer new ideas and information for discussion. To make the most of your time we have selected facilitators to stimulate and guide the discussion. |
