Wow, a friend of mine told me about this web site, and she was actually suggesting it as a meeting place for conference planning. This is really quite amazing; it's called "second life," so you can meet in a second life ;-) Check it out if you have time:

At this point, it lacks VOIP, but if you have webinar-ware then you can use a voice function.

In this simulation, you can choose your own avatar (bodily manifestation), which is becoming the "in thing"!
