I posted on the e-commerce forum a couple of weeks ago about whether any of the suppliers here would be interested in a virtual expo / networking event on our business park in Second Life, the 3-D virtual world. The latest plans are to have an introductory session on 7th September from 2:30 to 5:00. This will enable us to get all your stalls set up with logos, web links, posters, etc. as well as Second Life notecards. We will also provide you a Tshirt with your logo design on it.
We will put on a couple of presentations with Q&A sessions. The first will be “Using Second Life to market to businesses” and the Second will be “The implications of the 3-D web”
We’ll aim to get some customers along to have a look – but will use this as a trial run for an event on 12th October, which we will promote pretty heavily. If you sign up for this then you’ll be first on the list for any future events we do. The October date will have live music as well.
These events will be absolutely free for all. We will get the stalls fitted out and provide support on the day. If you’re looking for suppliers – or just want to meet some of the guys that have been helping you out on the forum – please feel free to come along.
We are happy to help beginners onto Second Life and show you the ropes.
There are a lot of potential benefits – not least the fact that your audience can come to the event from anywhere without actually leaving the office. It is also pretty easy to use – we will supply a ‘how-to’ manual for both exhibitors and buyers.
If anyone is interested drop me a line or post here. We’d also be interested in hearing from anyone that wanted to organise their own events.
Best regards,
Peter
