I'm on the advisory board for this one, which has meant little more than suggesting some good speakers, and agreeing to do a panel; one inexhaustable lady is behind the show and has single-handedly pulled it all together.
Are you ready for the 3D web? Europe's first pan-European virtual worlds conference is two days of debate, conversation and information to help you take advantage of the commercial and brand opportunities and the corporate benefits of collaborative working in virtual worlds.
It's London-based, and they're about to announce some rather exciting parties, too, so I'll update once the news is out. Lots of big names flying in from exotic locales to join us, so this should be fun.
I can probably get you 15% discount if you need it, so ping me via mail if you do.
Was very interested in this until seeing the registration fee. Oh well.

What 3D Web?

Hi Neil/Dragon,
Thanks for your comments. This year we're targeting business people, and for next year we totally want a much reduced price developer-style track. We really want to build community around virtual worlds in Europe, and appreciate your feedback. If you send me your email address, I can make sure you get a discounted pass for next year. Thanks,
Sasha

Most corporate-oriented events are in this price range, some way more so (like PC Forum, et all, at the $6000+ range).
It's not a consumer event; for that I'd look at the London Games Festival and GameCity.

Understood. I knew it was a business/corporate event and was looking at it as such but as my company (headcount: me) can't afford to send me, I don't get to go. Then again, a developer track would better suit me I guess. I know that IBM are investigating this whole thing which means it's of some interest to me and, potentially, my clients.
I can't afford to go to Lotusphere either and that's even more directly relevant to what I do. Sometimes it sucks working for yourself.
