Since the advent of Web 2.0, there has been a debate in the business community over the real economic benefits of virtual environments. Is Second Life the next main street, or mainly a waste of time? The debate may rage on for the next decade, but for now ebizQ has found that there is real value in virtual environments for one segment of business professionals: conference goers.

ebizQ has launched a new virtual environment for online conferences, which will premier on May 7th with a conference on Event Processing. What are the benefits of a virtual conference environment? Without leaving their desk, attendees can interact with presenters, including Gartner and Forrester analysts, and network with their peers. They can visit virtual booths to chat live with vendors about requirements and solutions And most importantly, business professionals can get their questions answered by industry experts, without taking too much time out of their busy schedules.

Event processing, the subject of the May 7th conference, is an exciting technology being used in conjunction with several technological disciplines such as SOA architecture and process monitoring to increase business agility. Event Processing can improve decision making, reduce costs, and help companies respond quickly to competitive threats and opportunities in the marketplace.

ebizQ's May 7th conference will address burning questions such as: What makes event processing different from conventional application design? What are the different styles of event processing? And how can mainstream companies realize the benefits of event processing?

Registration for ebizQ's Event Processing conference is free to attendees, thanks to sponsors IBM, BEA, IWay Software and Aleri.
