After a sold-out launch event, the Virtual Worlds Salon is back in March, held at The Hospital in London's Covent Garden.

We had over a hundred participants last week, from all over Europe and the US, as well as UK virtual worlds stalwarts - check out the photos here http://www.flickr.com/photos/sashinkauk/sets/72157604049046494/

This month, we''ll also be informally looking at the idea of narrative, key to virtual worlds and MMOs, and with a performance from artist Rhiannon Armstrong of the International Archive of Things Left Unsaid.

Covent Garden has long been a popular area for creative thinking, entrepreneurship and entertainment, core values of our Strategic Partner, The Hospital. Based on the site of an 18th Century hospital, London’s pre-eminent centre for the creative and media communities is set over 7 floors, and home to a Private Members Club with several bars and lounges, a Gallery, TV & Music recording studios.

The perfect setting for relaxed drinks and networking, the Virtual Worlds Salon is a great opportunity to meet European virtual worldists, and all those exploring how virtual worlds can interface with social networking, games and MMOs, for drinks and conversation in a laid-back atmosphere.

This is an invitiation-only event, and you need to be on the guest list to guarantee entrance. Our parties are pretty popular, and the last salon sold-out in 90 minutes, and there's a limited guest list, so sign up now to ensure your place.

See you on the 19th.
