We are pleased to announce the first fully immersive BPM Conference held completely within a virtual world environment in March 2010.

This BPM showcase offers the most up to date insight on business process strategy and operational agility and will feature process excellence studies and successes across all industries, Workshop tutorial sessions and Keynotes on both old and new methods, and looking at advancing process management using new combinations of techniques and tools such as GIS (Geospacial Information), Workflow Artificial Intelligence and Virtual World Process Simulation.

The 3-day event will be run by a leading virtual world host accommodating up to 300 attendees at one time, allowing you to exhibit, share and network with the leading Lean, Six Sigma and BPM experts, consultants, trainers and BPMS vendors as well as those organisations at the forefront of process excellence across Oil & Gas, Financial Services, Local Govt and Utilities.

This is not an event to miss as lessons across all industries in surviving a downturn can help serve others. Process Management is a core tool to unite these ideas.

We are currently open for Expressions of Interest for Sponsorship/ Marketing and Journalist coverage, as well as Keynote, Speaker and Workshop session topics.

You can access EOI forms at www.psingularity.net Deadline for submissions of interest is May 15th 2009.

Attendee opportunities will open July 2009 when the confirmed conference package and content will be released. A dedicated website for Process2010 will open at the same time.

Why virtual ?

In today’s current economic climate, cost reduction is king. What better way to reduce over-burdening costs for flights and accommodation than to remove them entirely. No need for ‘justification’ kits or lengthy arguments on ROI.

By far the two biggest advantages are that (a) with the price of a single ticket, you can broadcast your attendance within your organisation so more people can actually gain advantage of keynote speeches, presentations and workshop sessions. You’ll be assigned an Avatar per attendee thus increasing the scope for coverage should you purchase more than one ticket and (b) Sponsorship and marketing packages not normally within reach of smaller organisations can now be accommodated and advertising space can be reserved according to your budget available.

Networking is obviously another great usage of the world space, and with the ability of Skype you can hold private conversations without finding a huddle space in a dark corner of the bar.

Holding this event in a virtual world brings other advantages:

• Reduces travel time, expenses, and headaches • Removes the need to reserve blocks of hotel rooms • Weather conditions are no longer a factor (it’s always sunny in a virtual environment!) • BYO food and drink, convenience breaks to suit you not everyone else.
• No long walks between presentation and exhibit locations: Avatars can teleport and fly (don’t worry, you’ll be taught how by our hosts)
• No lines at the toilets or the bar….
