*VW08 Preview: The Rise of User Generated Virtual Worlds*

Just as MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and other social networking sites have
boosted the proliferation of user-generated content and personal spaces, new
virtual worlds technologies offer consumers the opportunity to not only
participate in a virtual world, but create their own. As a content provider
or brand advertiser, how do you capitalize on the phenomenon when everyone
has their own virtual world? This session features speakers creating some of
the new platforms that allow consumers to do just that. Hear from the
technologists what user behavor they're seeing and how they see this
business expanding. Speakers include: Mark Zohar, Founder and Senior Vice
President, SceneCaster<http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/t/app/speakers/markzohar.html>,
Bruce Joy, CEO & Co-Founder,
VastPark<http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/t/app/speakers/brucejoy.html>,
Jason Hable, Director of Business Development,
Areae<http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/t/app/speakers/jasonhable.html>and
Peter
Haik, CEO & Co-Founder, Metaversatility,
Inc.<http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/t/app/speakers/peterhaik.html>(moderator).

*Open Source Virtual Worlds: New Session Addition To VW08*

As mentioned last week we added an Enterpise Round
Tables<http://www.virtualworlds2008.com/schedule/enterprise.html>track
to VW08.  To that track today we've added an Open
Source Virtual Worlds<http://www.virtualworlds2008.com/schedule/enterprise.html>discussion.
This track will be informal, unlike the other sessions and
lectures in the other
tracks<http://www.virtualworlds2008.com/schedule/index.html>,
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. Facilitators for this session include: Adam Frisby
(OpenSim); Remy Malan (Qwaq); Jani Pirkola (realXtend); Tish Shute
(Ugotrade); Nicole Yankelovich (Sun Microsystems, Project Wonderland).
------------------------------

*New Yorker Hotel Extends Reg. Deadline for VW08 Attendees*

That's it folks, we're taking over the place! The New Yorker
Hotel<http://www.virtualworlds2008.com/travel/hotels.html>,
the official hotel for Virtual Worlds 2008, has extended the deadline and
upped the number of available rooms to VW08 attendees - which is a good
thing since we sold out of our original room block. So the goods news is
that rooms are still
available<http://www.virtualworlds2008.com/travel/hotels.html>at the
special discounted rates and the deadline
to book <http://www.virtualworlds2008.com/travel/hotels.html> has been
extended to March 23, 2008.  Keep in mind this deadline is different from
the show registration
<http://www.regonline.com/Checkin.asp?EventId=170793>deadline which is
March 31st.
------------------------------
Exhibit Hall Sells Out - 37 Companies Now Scheduled to Showcase

What the difference a year makes.  When we held the first Virtual Worlds
Conference <http://www.virtualworlds2008.com> in March 2007 we had 9
companies demoing in a tiny room at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. For this
year's show (April 3-4 <http://www.virtualworlds2008.com>) we now have 37
companies <http://www.virtualworlds2008.com/expo/index.html> who will be
showcasing new products and services at Javits. *The exhibit space is sold
out for this year's show.*
------------------------------
