Brandon Hall Research has added an events sales office at Education Island in Second Life. The virtual office supports the Brandon Hall "Innovations in Learning Conference" with an alternative approach to conference registration and attendee networking. The pioneering process is intended to introduce attendees to the types of cutting-edge technologies they'll experience in person at the Innovations in Learning Conference.

The Brandon Hall Innovations in Learning Conference will be held Sept. 25 and 26 at the Santa Clara Marriott in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a pre-conference program planned for Monday, Sept. 24. The unique new conference series celebrates the tools, technologies, innovations, and ideas that power successful workforce learning and development initiatives.

Log on to www.secondlife.com to get started, and then navigate (or “teleport”) to Education Island, where Brandon Hall Research’s conference office is located. Learning professionals can also register or receive more information on the conference at the company's traditional website (see link below).

"Using Second Life to support the new Innovations in Learning Conference shows that Brandon Hall Research is a company on the cutting edge of information technology," said Dr. Gary Woodill, Director of Research and Analysis for Brandon Hall Research. "It also opens the event to a wider audience, those learning professionals who are already investigating the rather remarkable places technology can take you. We think our conference delegates will enjoy the creative process of building a Second Life avatar to represent them virtually and using that avatar to explore the options and opportunities of the Innovations in Learning Conference."
