Tomorrow Corporation Pop will deliver the virtual ceremony in the Whitworth Room of Manchester Business School's Second Life Island. It follows a successful pilot in 2009 - the first of its kind - when 13 of BP's executives based across the globe took part.
The virtual award ceremony is the culmination of the year-long managing projects programme, delivered by experts from across the University of Manchester, which enables BP executives from the UK, US, Canada, Angola, Indonesia, Alaska and Russia to apply the latest business thinking to practical challenges they are facing in their business life.
Alan Johnston, director of Manchester programmes at BP, said: "The innovative use of Second Life by MBS delivers recognition of our worldwide delegates' achievement in completing the managing projects programme while enhancing our community of practice."
Corporation Pop has brought together a global team to help deliver the ceremony including acclaimed American machinimatographer Ariella Furman who will be filming the event for a souvenir video for participants.
