Register Now: Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education Conference in SL

There's still time to register for the 12th annual Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference, held every year in Second Life:

The VWBPE Conference is a completely virtual conference that is conducted using simulated environments. Participants experience the conference through a virtual reality type setting including conference rooms, theatres, exposition halls, meeting spaces, and other types of venues similar to a brick and mortar type conference.

Launching this Thursday, keynote speakers include UC Irvine's Tom Boellstorff, who'll be talking about (among many other topics) his government-funded work on the use of virtual worlds for physical therapy, which he pioneered with the help of the late Fran Serenade. The conference talks are also being streamed on YouTube (a best practice for virtual worlds in itself), so I'll be embedding the stream later this week.
