Before the Wimbledon frantic time hits I thought it worth mentioning a conference comin up just after Wimbledon finishes. I will be on a panel at the applying virtual worlds and MMO’s conference, talking about interoperability, service orientated architecture(SOA) approaches and where I think things are going in general. The more full invite from Martine Parry is below. Hopefully see some of you there.
Apply Virtual Worlds & MMOs is a 1-day conference within the Visual Web Convention, discussing and debating the future for the visual web and virtual worlds – across platforms, functionality, content and business model. The leading MMO games developers together with leading developers in the virtual world space come together to identify the future opportunities and direction resulting in MMO and virtual world convergence over the next 6-12 months.
