Conference to Maximize Gaming and Social Media
July 2, 2012
Industry conferences are par for the course but the recently announced Global 3D Virtual PLM Conference & Exhibition is a new breed of conference that encourages participation by being totally virtual. The MCAD Café article, “Social PLM 2012, The Global Virtual Conference and Exhibition in PLM, Engineering and Product Design Is Announced,” explains this first-in-its-kind approach to conferencing for the PLM industry.
“In an innovative 3D immersive format with avatars, which is close to face-to-face, based on Altadyn’s conferencing platform, 3D-VirtualEvents.com , attendees can interact with expert speakers and PLM vendors through a life like experience with an amazing sense of presence, which favors social collaboration, but in the most efficient manner from their office, with no need to lose time and spend money travelling. They can also network in real time, and have hallway conversations with other attendees from around the world.”
The creators of the conference, 01consulting, are presenting the virtual conference in a game-like format that encourages exploration and socialization among visitors. Pushing participants headfirst into social media is a great approach for a conference focusing on the social aspects of PLM. We expect as more companies currently utilizing new PLM solutions realize the benefits social media can offer their industry and performance they will embrace it.
