Conference Mission

The semi-annual B2P Conference provides networking and professional development opportunities for business people working in virtual worlds, exploring virtual world opportunities, or merely wishing to take advantage of a business community without having to leave their home or office.

Presenters

Presenters will be guaranteed access to the conference sessions and be given a complimentary display booth in the expo area of the Beta Business Park for the duration of the conference. Presenters will be expected to provide slide presentations or a video for display in Second Life. (Specifications will be provided with acceptance notification.) Each presenter will be required to have a Second Life^TM account and avatar. B2P will provide pre-conference orientation to any presenter who is not already familiar with Second Life^TM.

Conference Audience

The conference hopes to attract business people with a wide range of knowledge and experience, representing non-profit, governmental, educational, and private sectors and organizations of all sizes sizes. Therefore, we plan to offer variety of content. Presenters should not limit themselves to VW-specific content.

Sample topics might relate to:

• Virtual World business success stories/testimonials
• Marketing and sales
• Effective communication for business leaders
• Collaboration techniques
• Mentoring in the business environment
• Effective use of Social Media
• Team building
• Recruitment/Retention/Recognition
• Stress management
• Time management
• Dealing with difficult people
• Using interns

Potential presenters are encouraged to be creative with their presentation titles and topics. However, be clear and concise in your objectives and description, so that participants have a good understanding of the content when making their choices.
