Together

March 11-13, 2027

Presentation Submission

Introduction

This year, our theme is simple, powerful and deeply necessary: Together. We issue this Call for Proposals, to challenge our global grassroots community to confront the realities of this new era. We invite proposals that explore human agency; AI literacy and ethics; equity and accessibility; academic integrity and assessment; and the role of empowered educators in an AI-augmented world.

No single institution, framework, or brilliant mind has all the answers.

But twenty years of VWBPE history have taught us that what is impossible for one can be achieved by many. We have braved limited budgets, technological shifts, and global disruptions by relying on our collective wisdom. We will overcome this challenge exactly as we have all the others: by logging in, stepping up, and working as one.

Take advantage of this opportunity to be part of a global community dedicated to redefining education and immersive environments. The conference is hosted across multiple platforms including Second Life®. It will be live-streamed on YouTube. It is completely virtual and free to attend.

Livestream Engagement

Many of the conference sessions are streamed via YouTube Live as part of the recording process. The audience for these livestream sessions has been increasing each year. Therefore, VWBPE 2027 plans to incorporate questions and comments from the livestream with the presenter(s) and participants in-world.

Important Notice:

Please note that all presentations will be held in the main VWBPE regions. Presentations that require participants to exit the VWBPE regions must be submitted as an Immersive Experience.
