FCVW Con 2011 Call for Proposals
A call for proposals is now posted on the website in three conference
activities. If you have any questions, please email the FederalConsortiumVW@ndu.edu.
Deadline for all proposals is February 7, 2011. Notification of acceptance will be no later than
March 7, 2011.
Government project poster session—This session was one of the most popular at
the conference last year. We encourage anyone in government or vendors (who are part of a
government project) connected to a virtual world project to submit a proposal. The project can
be in the planning phase, development phase, or maintenance phase as long as it is connected
to virtual worlds. We have room for approximately 50 projects. We will have a table, electric
plug and internet access for each project submitted. All of the projects are in one large room.
Conference participants (350 last year) come around, admire your project and ask questions.

Workshops—this year we will have a pre-conference day of workshops on May 11 from 8-
4 PM. We will have a limited number of 3 hour slots and a larger number of 75 minute slots for
workshops. The workshops that are proposed should teach participants a skill that is related to
virtual worlds.

Vendor Fair—We have a relatively small vendor fair each year at the FCVW Conference.
Vendors are selected from proposals and have the choice of sponsoring the conference at
three levels through the NDU Foundation. Once vendors are selected, they will be notified and
given the links to the NDU foundation information. You will get broad exposure from those in
government, industry and academic interested in virtual worlds and virtual world related products.
The vendor fair is in the midst of where food is served, just outside the government poster
sessions and where the reception is held. We have had a number of vendors tell me it is the best
virtual world conference they attend.

Virtual World live-video stream: If you would like to be one of the virtual world sites that
we live video stream the conference (we streamed to 6 different virtual worlds last year), please
contact keysha.gamor.ctr@ndu.edu. We had over 3,200 attending the conference last year
through the stream or in one of the virtual worlds. It gives online participants the opportunity to
see a variety of virtual worlds and experience the conference using the technology.
Don’t forget to follow us on twitter @fcvw for conference information and updates as well as
information on virtual worlds. If you tweet on virtual worlds, please include the #fcvw hashtag.
