Registration for the official Second Life Community Convention
to be held in Tampa, FL from September 5-7, 2008 close to maximum
capacity. +
TAMPA, FL, August 20, 2008 - The official Second Life Community Convention (SLCC) scheduled for September 5 - 7, 2008 in Tampa, Florida has nearly reached maximum capacity, with over 800 attendees registered for the event. The annual convention features three days of workshops and presentations that showcase the activities of businesses, educators, and resident-run communities in the 3D virtual world of Second Life®, created by San Francisco based Linden Lab.
"We've actually reached the maximum capacity for registrations, but some who registered haven't paid," said Peter Lokke, financial administrator for SLCC, "The demand is so high at this point, we're proceeding on a 'first-paid, first-served' basis. I would encourage anyone who wants to attend to send in your payment as soon as possible to guarantee you get a pass to the convention."
Highlights of this year's convention include keynote addresses from Mark Kingdon, CEO, and Philip Rosedale, Chairman of the Board for Linden Lab and over fifty break-out sessions covering everything from starting a new business in the virtual world to the latest research from universities and colleges using Second Life. Community-sponsored social events will also be held following the daily programs.
"Virtual worlds and the emerging metaverse are hot topics in many sectors," said Randal Moss, one of the lead organizers for the convention, "SLCC is an opportunity for the pioneers and entrepreneurs in these areas to come together and discuss what works and what doesn't and where virtual worlds like Second Life are headed. It's also an opportunity to celebrate the wonderfully diverse communities that exist in Second Life."
