IBM keeps finding new ways to use Second Life for old things. A virtual parallel of the Lotusphere 2007 conference is one of the latest. The complex, pictured above, is an analogue of the one in Orlando, where the real life annual conference will be taking place.
7,000 people are expected to descend on the complex in Orlando to hear about the latest social/tech innovations in IBM Lotus software. The conference is being paralleled in Second Life so that people unable to attend the Orlando conference, for whatever reason, can still attend. I was able to catch up with Mags McLaglen, at the virtual site and speak with her for a few minutes about the virtual conference.
