Today we welcome the Association for Accounting Marketing (AAM) (MD/DC/DE) to CPA Island for a presentation about using Second LIfe as part of an organization's strategy.
The session will be live at the MACPA CPA Center in Towson, MD and virtual via webcast and in the BLI Conference Center in Second Life (click on this link to teleport to the session) on April 26th from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm (ET).
MACPA has led the CPA profession into this exciting virtual world platform. Tom Hood and his alter ego, Rocky Maddaloni will show you how virtual world’s like Second Life can be used for real training, conferences and meetings. You will learn how this fits within the Web 2.0/social media software spectrum, discuss possible uses, and see examples of real life business applications that can be done in Second Life.

I've been visiting your site on and off for months, and I must say I'm FASCINATED by what you've done here. I think I need to set up a second life character and pay you a visit.

A recent blog post actually detailed the use of Second Life within the training of forensic auditors. Great stuff in putting technology to work in training and simulating possible scenarios.
