From their website: "The Virtual World Best Practices in Education (VWBPE) conference
originated from the 2007 Second Life Best Practices in Education
Conference. This grassroots, community-based conference attracts
faculty, instructors, trainers, administrators, instructional
designers, technical specialists, and members of organizations from
around the world. Those who create teaching/learning environments,
resources, tools, support services and professional development
opportunities internal and external to virtual world environments
participate. During the conference, participants have opportunities to
ask: What is education?, What is teaching?, What is learning? and How
can we provide virtual world educational environments in which today’s
learners can become all they can be."

This will be an opportunity to hear from educators around the world who
are actively using virtual worlds and immersive technology in their
teaching.

Schedule of events and speakers:

are always welcome at Educational events. There will be mentors on hand
to answer questions and assist users.
