I’m attending the Agile2010 conference this week, and am presenting with Keith Voos from State Farm Insurance on how to use Virtual Worlds to solve the problems faced by our distributed teams.  The other presentations I’ve attended as well as the networking has also been great.  What a week!

The Agile Journal is hosting an online trade show using the ON24 platform. You will be able to connect through your browser and even visit the booths days after the show.

See their webisite Agile Connect 2010 for details. The event runs both Jun 9 and 10, but you can see the exhibits days later as well!
