As was the case last year, last week's Serious Virtual Worlds conference was a highlight in the busy conference season. Sara de Freitas and David Wortley with the Coventry Serious Games Institute aggregated an excellent cross-section of industry and academia for two days of insight into mixed-reality, medical simulation, interoperability, and mobile interfaces into virtual spaces. This, combined with their special form of Coventry Hospitality (which invariably involves a castle older than my country, beer and some video game guitars) adds up to a fine learning experience. Add this one to your show calendar next year.
Next up on my speaking agenda is a panel discussion at today's debut of Kelley Executive Partners' Virtual Campus and their "Virtual Worlds and the future of Business Education". Ironically, I pursued 
graduate studies at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business for one year during the roller-coaster-ride of spinning up Cisco's Networked Virtual Environments efforts. Having their excellent faculty and content available virtually, via Second Life, would have been a boon for frequent flyers such as myself. Say, perhaps they still have my records and I can pick up where I left off.........
