Virtual Venue & Platform

The G.I.CON 2021 conference will take place primarily on the iLRN Virtual Campus, with the support of our Discord G.I.CON channel to support social networking, and collaboration.

The iLRN Virtual Campus is based on Virbela, a 3D virtual world platform “that brings people together in an immersive environment to work, learn, meet, and train from anywhere at any time.” G.I.CON is part of the iLRN events and is fortunate enough to benefit from an ongoing strategic partnership with and support from Virbela, who are also the Platinum Sponsors of the iLRN 2021 conference.

The iLRN Virtual Campus is freely accessible to iLRN members, and there is currently no cost to join the Network as an individual member. However, registrants for G.I.CON 2021 will be given special access to dedicated spaces/rooms on the Virtual Campus that will be used for conference sessions and activities and that will not be accessible to non-registrants.

Note that the iLRN Virtual Campus application is not the same as the Virbela “Open Campus” application available from Virbela’s website.

The iLRN Virtual Campus application can either operate in desktop mode on a Mac or Windows PC (system requirements can be found here), or alternatively, used with a tethered PC VR headset (HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest with Link Cable). Mobile device support is not available at this time.
