Hi. I need to create a website for an organization that handles virtual events, like an online version of real conferences or fairs. The website is structured around virtual spaces which can be:

Fair lobby (which can contain one or more pavilions )

>Pavilions (each pavilion can have one or more virtual rooms below)

>>>virtual stands

>>>auditoriums

>>>Lounge rooms

One important aspect of the website is that each virtual space (lobby, pavilion and virtual room) must have its own design, usually a picture of the real place with links or block contents, just like these images in this similar product: link( http://6connex.com/virtual-destinations/ )

In each virtual space, fair attendees can see news, articles, videos, images, take quizzes, collaborate in forums, chat with sponsor’s staff, see job opportunities, comment content. Usually they can see public information for each virtual space and need to register and logon to go further and answer quizzes and some other functions.

Each sponsor, responsible for one virtual stand or virtual room, will publish job opportunities, create chat rooms, open topic in public forum, send quizzes and analyze results.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I could do this? I was thinking about using organic groups which can be themed, right? Or Groups could be used? Or any other option?

I'd really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks.

Organic groups is where I would start.

- System administrator need to be able to create these spaces (lobby, pavilions and stands) through system administration, configuring each pavillion and adding virtual rooms (auditorium, stands) to it. And fair attendees must be able to access different virtual spaces, first in the main lobby (could be main homepage), then getting into a pavillion and scrolling to see all its stands, with different formats, sizes and colors. Then attendee can select and enter a stand or auditorium and check the information available according to its profile.

System must create the visualization of each pavilion with a background image background image and individual images for each stand belonging to the pavillion, according to what was configured by system administrator.

- System administrator need to locate where each virtual attendee is in the virtual fair;

Any idea of how to structure that in Drupal?
Thanks a lot.
