Virtual Worlds Forum Conference Coverage @ London

I must make an admission. London is my home town, Virtual Worlds is my research area, and I didn’t quite make it. The reason? Well, considering the facts, and given how few of these kinds of conferences quite literally are on my back doorstep I can’t really come up with a good one other than I had a heavy teaching schedule that week. Fortunately I one of my academic friends did go and gave me the full and detailed report afterwards.

The conference obviously attracted a lot of press quite a lot of which is obviously quite good for the industry and the virtual worlds, however while Lord Triesman’s comments hit the headlines with Rod quite rightly highlighting this story, the untold story of the conference was actually hidden away in what exactly the delegates where discussing. On Friday 26th October 2007 and entire stream was dedicated to “Risk, Reputation & Virtual Worlds” covering issues over IP, privacy and Brand Rights with an interesting workshop (which my friend attended) regarding the status of e-money and the Real Money Trade.

Those of you though, who like me, missed the entire thing, I highly recommend having a look at the podcasts archive.
