hi Alex
Thanks for the details of the conference you are organising and which
unfortunately I can not attend.
I thought you might be interested in related current research I am doing
with education and enterprise applications for virtual worlds
The first is a photo essay "But is it Art" - The future of Virtual
Worlds (2010)
http://www.arklo.com/2010_But%20Is%20It%20Art/BIIT_Introduction.html
The second is a current project "The Virtual Building Company" which I
am working on to promote and raise awareness for education and
enterprise applications for virtual worlds

I hope these are of interest
yours
