Virtual Worlds Forum

Expo - bigger and better

Virtual Worlds Forum Europe 2008 is delighted to partner with our exhibitors. Together, we are building Europe's largest meeting place for brands and corporations, virtual worlds and the converging games, entertainment and business spaces. To find out more about gaining industry visibility by exhibiting at the show please contact Petra Johansson.

This year’s expo is bigger and better - more booths, as well as a dedicated keynote/demo theatre on the show floor. We’ll be creating the same business-enabling environment our clients come back for; lots of social spaces, great footfall, and a walk-through the expo to get to the congress.
