3pointD Goes Supernova
We’ll be on the road next week (or, more accurately, in the air), headed to the Supernova conference in San Francisco, where I’ll be moderating a workshop on the social, business and work-oriented lessons we can learn from massively multiplayer online games and virtual worlds. We’ll have two hours to fill, hopefully with plenty of audience participation, so if you’re at all interested, drop by Wharton West early on Tuesday Wednesday, June 21st. The four very cool panelists include Corey Bridges of Multiverse; Nic Ducheneaut, who’s doing awesome work scraping data on social interactions in World of Warcraft over at the PlayOn project at PARC; Jerry Paffendorf, the resident futurist over at the Electric Sheep Company (our main sponsor here at 3pointD); and Helen Cheng of Seriosity, which is studying the overlap between work and play. The rest of the conference is filled with interesting people as well, and I’m definitely looking forward to meeting a few of them and blogging what they have to say. If you’re in the area and have any 3pointD news or just want to chat, feel free to drop me a line. Keep in mind, though, that I’m actually very bad about returning my emails. In any case, I look forward to seeing who’s around next week. Should be fun.



Supernova fans and virtual world enthusiasts alike would also do well to check out the mixed-reality video broadcast of the Supernova Connected Innovators Showcase Thursday evening, 5:30-7:30 PDT, on the Supernova, Media, and Sheep Island sims in Second Life check this link for more information, and hope to see you there.
Also, the 21st is Wednesday, not Tuesday… you scared me there for a second.
Ah, right you are, Hank! Thanks for catching that. I leave on Tuesday if why I was thinking that, I suppose.
