Real talk about all things virtual

Just a quick post to let you know about two upcoming conference speaking gigs.  The interesting thing about them is that both deal with the virtual, but in two very different ways.  I hope I'll see some of you there.

PSFK New York Conference

Psfk_conf_3 First up, I will be moderating a session about Collaborative Working at the PSFK Conference New York on March 27th.  My panelists from Etsy and NASA will discuss how they engage their customers, staff, partners and the community across real, digital and virtual spaces.  For my part, beyond keeping the conversation flowing, I'll have the opportunity to talk about crayon's unique virtual/remote working model.

This is the first time I'm speaking at a PSFK event but I attended the first New York Conference last year and it was by far the best, most provocative event I've been to in ages.  This year's event promises to be even better.

Virtual Worlds 2008

Vw2008Right on the heels of PSFK, I'll be moderating a panel at Virtual Worlds 2008, taking place in New York City (the real one) on April 3rd and 4th.  Like last time, my panel will focus on the integration of real world and virtual world marketing but I don't know who my panelists will be yet.  So, well, you heard it here first.  Unlike previous events in this series which focused heavily on Second Life, this year's edition will focus more broadly on other platforms - especially the white hot children's virtual world space (think Webkinz, Club Penguin and Barbie Girls) and what they mean for society and business.  Check the agenda here.
