Corporate Planners Unlimited, Inc.’s Virtualis Convention and Learning
Center™ Expands Due to Demand
Virtualis™ Expands in Second Life™ Based upon Demand for Virtual
Solutions for Meetings, Conventions and Special Events
DANA POINT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Dan Parks, President and Creative Director of Corporate Planners
Unlimited, Inc. announced the expansion of Virtualis Convention and
Learning Center™ due to increased demand. Virtualis™ is the largest and
most meticulously-designed convention center in the revolutionary,
computer-generated world of Second Life™. Second Life™ is accessible
through a free downloadable application - the Second Life™ Browser.
Using this application, people can create a graphical 3D representation
of themselves, avatars, which can be maneuvered within the Second Life
world.
Mirroring lavish real-world convention centers, Virtualis™ boasts state
of the art facilities with educational breakout rooms, a grand ballroom,
an exhibition hall and a new arena to accommodate as many as 360
virtual meeting, symposium, convention, special event and teambuilding
attendees.
Virtualis has doubled in size in less than a year based upon the need
for corporations and associations to find virtual solutions as a result
of economic trends as well as long-term focus on corporate social
responsibility and the reduction of carbon imprint. One company, who
recently held a meeting for 75 virtual attendees from five global
destinations without leaving their desks, asked if Parks could bring in
several hundred attendees from around the globe. Virtualis™ Founder,
Parks, immediately responded to the need by purchasing two additional
virtual parcels of land and commenced with the expansion and relocation
of existing buildings to build the new arena to meet 1Q 2009 demands.
