Speaking at Virtual Policy '08 London

The indefatigable Ren Reynolds is helping coordinate tVPN's Virtual Policy '08 conference in London, in conjunction with and hosted by the (British) Department of Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) on the 22nd and 23rd of July.  I will be there speaking about the past/present/future of virtual worlds with an eye towards what government activity is needed (and not needed) to help accelerate the widespread adoption of virtual world technologies.

If you are in London in late July, please drop me an email and perhaps we can all get an informal roundtable together.

On a related note

In 2006, I took my family to London and Norway over the Summer holiday.  This morning, I broke the news to my girls that daddy had to go on a business trip to London for the conference.  Partial transcript follows:

Daddy:  It's in London girls, do you remember London from our vacation?
Emma (6): Yes, that's where the Queen lives!
Daddy: Yes Emma, that's right, the Queen.  The Queen called and wants daddy's help!
Emma:  What, to wash her floors?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, it seems.
