COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado—October 25, 2006—Active Worlds Expo today announces its premiere trade show event for the Active Worlds 3D Metaverse. The show is scheduled to run from November 3 to November 5, 2006. Users can download the Active Worlds browser at http://www.activeworlds.com/ and teleport to the world 'sparkles' where the event is hosted. The expo was created as a service for creative minds in Active Worlds to showcase their talent, services, and products for sale, and to show the outside world the potential of the Active Worlds software as a creative platform.

Some of the exhibitors involved with the expo include Active Worlds, Inc, the software development house ImaBot, AWPortals.com, SWCity.net, theme worlds like Avatar and Arabus, the international worlds Brasil3D and Français, and VR5 Online, a creative firm currently in development of photorealistic avatars and the emulation of Nintendo Entertainment System games from the web.

"We're all excited about the Active Worlds Expo," said Christopher Walker, exhibit coordinator for Active Worlds Expo. "We believe that this event is very important to AW's success as a consumer product. It provides an opportunity for those within and from outside our community to sample the creative potential of the software within a single weekend, and all in one place."

Active Worlds Expo will also have three open house periods each night during the weekend of the show. These open houses are times when booth exhibitors will be on-hand to talk with visitors and answer questions about their booth and their exhibitions. These open houses will begin each night November 3 through the 5 at 11 p.m. Virtual Reality Time, or 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST and will run for approximately one and a half hours.

The Active Worlds Expo is the brainchild of the user Newman111 and Christopher Walker, who wished to give the community of AW an opportunity to raise awareness of their talent, services, or products among the community as well as to visitors and new users. Outsiders will also be able to experience many of the possibilities that Active Worlds can provide to creative artists and businesses alike during the weekend. Attendees can view the expo guide at http://www.sparklesrm.com/expo06/index.html.

It includes a complete list of exhibitors, a map, and a schedule of events. The guide will be continually updated until the show begins on November 3. Active Worlds Expo is hosted by the users King Ramel o and Queen Ramel o, owners of Sparkles world, and sponsored by Active Worlds, Inc., SWCity.Net, AWPortals.com, and SupportAW.com.
