The Smarter Technology Virtual Conference Center is part of Smarter Technology (www.smartertechnology.com), an editorial website and online community formed to drive high-level discussions surrounding the rapid change and evolution of technology in today's complex world. Smarter Technology addresses all the areas of change facing today's enterprise IT departments, and the impact of fast-changing technology on all aspects of the enterprise from organizational capability to efficiency, strategy, process and sustainability.

The Smarter Technology Virtual Conference Center is designed to let technology professionals engage in real-time discussions with editors and experts, and interact with vivid 3D demonstrations of new technology strategy and solutions. Attendees can register online, then participate in events via an easy-to-use Flash video and chat interface. Or for a more immersive experience, they can create an avatar persona and join Smarter Technology editors and presenters live in the 3D event-space, a business-class facility hosted in Second Life(TM).

Whether on the web or in 3D, registered attendees can:

• Attend events several times weekly, and large-scale keynotes monthly.
• Interact with speakers, Smarter Technology editors and professional colleagues.
• Learn from a growing collection of 3D simulations, data-visualization tools and educational exhibits that offer new and novel takes on technology for business and the planet.
  

On Tuesday, July 28, at 5 PM Pacific/8 PM Eastern, Smarter Technology will host Jon Brouchoud and Ryan Schultz, founders of Studio Wikitecture, a unique collaboration tool enabling stakeholders to achieve consensus fairly and efficiently, and rapidly progress the evolution of specifications and designs for buildings, offices and similar facilities. Aimed initially at architects, structural engineers, public-works project managers and enterprise facilities planners, the Studio Wikitecture system can be generalized to facilitate management of any large design or engineering project, especially where stakeholders are spread across multiple organizations.

The Smarter Technology Web site and Virtual Conference Center is sponsored exclusively by IBM. To register, please visit http://www.smartertechnology.com/c/s/Smarter-Technology-Virtual-World/.
