Now in our second year

Virtual Worlds Forum

URGENT! VWF is rescheduled.

Early this morning there was an unrelated incident at the venue in which a member of the public was shot. The police have closed off the venue for three days, which means that we cannot use it for Virtual Worlds Forum.

With less than day to go, we cannot find an alternative venue over these dates. So we have taken the very difficult decision to reschedule the event.

What it means for you is
1) The event will not take place as planned on Monday and Tuesday.
2) For those people who are in London, the Four Day members pass to the Hospital is still available. Please go to 24 Endell St, London, WC2H 9HQ to collect your pass – there’s quite a few people in town, so lots of people to hang out with.
3) The South by South West party on Monday night is still going ahead.


And obviously we are planning the reschedule and we will give you details as soon as we have them.


We are very very sorry for the inconvenience. We will do our utmost to make sure that you get the most out of your involvement with VWF and keep you informed as regularly as we can.

Programme

The establishing metrics workshop is ideal for marketers considering entrance in the virtual worlds space as well as those building and operating VW. The session will lay out the current VW universe from a demographic and target market perspective to provide a framework for discussion. Building on this foundation, Nic will present and explain two successful brand campaigns in VW with accompanying datapoints and measurement tools. The workshop will then focus on the key metrics marketers should use when planning and implementing VW marketing initiatives:

  • audiences – acquisition / retention / churn
  • engagement
  • community
  • customer service
  • ROI

Finally, the workshop will look at developing standards for VW audience measurement – how and when?
