A Half-Day Conference, Celebrating the Launch of
KEP's Virtual Campus in Second Life^®
September 15, 2008
1:00 PM-4:30 PM Eastern, 10:00 AM-1:30 PM Pacific Time

Emerging business challenges require management excellence at every level of a global organization. This need for continuity compels corporations to rethink management education as an ongoing partnership with institutions of higher learning — themselves reconceived as agile communities of expertise. How can virtual worlds be harnessed to support this new model of educational best-practice? Are today's virtual worlds equal to the challenge? What milestones must be reached before this nascent medium can carry its vital message?

Please RSVP below and join us in Second Life or on the web for a half-day conference exploring these themes — bringing together voices from KEP and the wider Kelley School of Business and Indiana University communities, major corporations, analysts and metaverse professionals.

Before you RSVP: The form below asks for your Second Life avatar name. If you have not yet created a Second Life avatar and downloaded the Second Life client, please visit KEP's Second Life Registration Page and do so, before returning here to complete the RSVP form. You do not need to install the client or enter Second Life to complete the RSVP process — but we encourage you to come inworld as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with Second Life and KEP's Virtual Campus, which is now open to visitors. Prior to our launch event, we will be holding several inworld orientation sessions for guests, and will contact you by email with dates and times for these. We encourage you to become an active participant in KEP's virtual world programs and our fast-growing global community.

Important: This event will be held live in Second Life, and simulcast via realtime video to a page on this website, also linked to Second Life via realtime text-chat. Space in Second Life is extremely limited — your RSVP cannot guarantee 'inworld' admission. You will be contacted by email shortly before the event, and directed to our Second Life or web venues.
