The Association of Virtual Worlds is where virtual worlds and the people who share the vision come together. We—the creators, corporations, entrepreneurs, businesses, developers, educators, futurists, inhabitants, researchers and governments are part of a multi-billion dollar industry representing hundreds of millions of members. This Internet industry segment is growing at lightning speed where capabilities and technology occur in the blink of an eye. Though each world and everyone associated with virtual worlds is unique, there are common goals and issues that draw us together. The Association for Virtual Worlds is where we all meet.

The rapid growth of virtual worlds has resulted in issues and questions that need to be considered and addressed by the industry as a whole. Global regulatory issues, taxation, intellectual property, safety, marketing, technology and virtual economies are all coming to the forefront and will have massive implications. They need to be discussed and the Association will lead the conversation.

Our mission is to:

• Investigate
• Educate
• Network
• Recruit
• Determine collective interests
• Further our causes

In this formative stage of the Association, we are accepting membership by invitation. If you are an industry leader with a passion to help shape the impact of the next big thing, please contact:
