After months of preparation, the AWExpo 2015 was officially opened on 21st June, 1 week before the 20th anniversary of Activeworlds. AwExpo is located in Alphaworld on position 7700S 1400E.
A team of 18 builders have helped to realize this huge project :

The purpose of this AWExpo 2015 project is to show the best of what has been realized in those 20 years existance of Activeworlds. You won't find only teleports to the best worlds and places , but also url links to the best supporting websites. Apart from that , the whole AWExpo around has been build from its best side : futuristic structures and designs, light effects (to make some areas more bright),sounds (eg. sparkling water, birds) and particle emitters (eg. fountains, fire).
* Landscaping :the hills are made with the shear command , which has also been used for the stairs in the central area
* There is a digital VRT clock : you can also build a VRT clock with hour and minute hands, but the digial clock is with advanced techniques.
* There is a 3d sphere theater where you can see world locations but also movies with 360 degrees view.

* There is a railway with a server controlled mover trolleys (made with waypoints).

Set visibility at minimum 200 metres, and when clicking "press to start", there will start an animation with little black balls , creating a nice melody during a few minutes. When you fly behind the scene of the pipe dream , you will see hundreds of pole objects, containing the action commands for these sounds and animations .
