Are virtual worlds ‘ready for enterprise’? How is immersive media being used for training, communication and collaboration? Are there advantages to having virtual world platforms deployed behind enterprise firewalls? What are the lessons learned from leading companies and organizations?

Join us for a very special Metanomics as we broadcast live from the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in San Francisco during a mixed reality event. Please note that the event is at a special time: November 4, 2009, 11:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.

Mark Kingdon, CEO of Linden Lab, will unveil “Nebraska”, a stand-alone solution based on the technology that runs the popular Second Life virtual world. “Nebraska” is the much-anticipated behind-the-firewall solution which will allow enterprise to host their own virtual world environments within their organizations. Mark will talk about the benefits of the platform, the intended audience, and how it fits into the broader challenges and opportunities of “enterprise 2.0”.

Mark will be joined by a number of customers who have used Nebraska during the closed beta phase of development. The panel will explore the benefits, lessons learned, barriers and opportunities which arise from integrating virtual world solutions into the enterprise.

The event will include panelists appearing live in San Francisco and others who will join from the Metanomics Main Stage in Second Life.

Robert Bloomfield will kick off the event from the Metanomics main stage, and will be joined by Doug Thompson (Dusan Writer) who will moderate from San Francisco.

Event Details:
Following is the event listing from the Enterprise 2.0 Conference:

“We all feel it. Today’s economic, environmental, and business climate is putting tremendous pressure on enterprises to cut costs, innovate faster, and work in a more eco-friendly way. And, these business imperatives are driving forward-thinking organizations to explore emerging technologies that enable teams distributed around the globe to communicate, collaborate, learn, and create more effectively.

Join Mark Kingdon, the CEO of Linden Lab/Second Life, to learn more about how hundreds of enterprises and governments are working both in Second Life and find out how they are saving money while taking giant leaps in creativity, innovation, and productivity. Kingdon will also unveil and demo the much anticipated “behind the firewall’ product (code named “Nebraska”). A few enterprise customers will join him to discuss the product and future outlook of immersive, virtual workspaces in a mixed-reality event at the Moscone Center and in Second Life.”“
