The growth in virtual worlds, social networks and online games heralds a
global change to a new experience in entertainment, education, commerce or
social networking. Meet to explore how the virtual phenomenon is changing
the way people interact, think and feel in their daily activities. The theme
for this meeting is: *How do Virtual worlds affect hearts and minds?*
