Belated comment on virtual conferencing in Second Life

I have been meaning to submit a post to thank you for sharing the details on this previous virtual conference. This is one of the posts that got me interested in exploring the world of Second Life and virtual conferences in general. Since then, we've been playing around with having our own team meetings using virtual conferences for Second Life at work. I have found it to be far more entertaining to have virtual conferences using the new Crowne Plaza Conference Center that is currently free to use in Second Life. This is more entertaining than using Glance, GoToMeeting, or WebEx.

I think is really cool that you can use audio chat and even Powerpoint Presentations in the virtual meetings. I'm sure we will start seeing more of such conference centers pop up in Second Life. In any event, if anyone wants more information on how to set up virtual conferencing in Second Life, you can check out the article that I bought that saved me a lot of time in figuring out the setup myself: Second Life virtual conferencing

Regards

Cristina

The first night was a succes.

I am so excited to be going to both the RL version of BH in Chicago and the SL version as well! Will speak on a panelist in both places (not at the same time, of course). See you in the "real" world and in-world! I'm Cybergrrl Oh in SL.

Thank you for doing this

I was bummed to have to miss yet another BlogHer event, but the travel just wasn't feasible for me. I'll be thrilled to participate in Second Life.

FYI, there is already a lot of good stuff going on in there. For example, I co-facilitate a weekly meetup for the SL Netroots group at RootsCamp on Progressive Island. There are also a lot of nonprofit orgs with offices on Commonwealth Island and in the Nonprofit Commons. There's even a Code Pink chapter in SL!

So come on in, sisters. The water's fine.

(PS: My name in SL is Ruby Glitter.)

Put me on the volunteer list, too

Lori Taylor — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 12:07:47 -0500

Great idea. I'm all registered.

Sitting around tables in San Jose blogging and IMing was like being in Second Life last year anyway.

Thank you!

This is so, so awesome! I just found out I can't go to the conference (but I am giving away my registration pass this week) and this will be a great way to experience a bit of it virtually! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Queen Tureaud — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:52:07 -0500

Don't forget to register! You won't get in if you don't! (unless you slip me a 20 at the virtual door-but shhhhhhhh)

BlogHer '07 in Second Life! Can't Make it to Chicago? Attend Virtually!

Queen Tureaud — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 13:27:48 -0500

â€œSometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.â€- The Queen, in Lewis Carrollâ€™s Through the Looking Glass.

While Lewis Carrollâ€™s Queen in Through the Looking Glass â€œbelievedâ€ her six impossible things before breakfast, this Queen has done them. In the virtual world of Second Life anything is possible. Itâ€™s possible to fly, itâ€™s possible to visit far off lands, and itâ€™s possible to bring hundreds of BlogHers to the Chicago conference without ever leaving their homes.

Iâ€™m Queen Tureaud. Itâ€™s a Second Life avatar name. You may know me as BlogHer Contributing editor Erin Kotecki Vest of Queen of Spain blog. For those of you who canâ€™t make it to the BlogHer â€™07 conference in Chicago, Iâ€™ve teamed up with Elisa, Lisa, and Jory to bring Chicago to you.

BlogHer in Second Life will offer the opportunity to experience the Chicago conference live on a virtual platform, complete with general sessions, audio feeds, and even a virtual cocktail party! Similar to BlogHer â€˜07 in Chicago, the BlogHer Second Life virtual conference will feature an interactive format designed to inspire discussion. Not to mention FREE virtual goodies from our sponsors and vendors!

So how does it work?

First thing is first, if you want to attend the virtual conference you will need to download and install Second Life. Unfortunately it will not run on all computers, so check Second Life system requirements at https://secure-web7.secondlife.com/corporate/sysreqs.php . A basic account at Second Life is free.

Next, you will need to register for the conference. Registration can be completed at http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaID=137268. Registration is free.

Now you are ready to get comfortable in this virtual world, and Queen Tureaud is happy to be your guide. I will be holding Second Life training and office hours to get you ready for the conference.

Queen Tureaud office hours:(PST)
Monday 10-2pm
Wednesday 10-2pm
Thursday 5pm-8pm
Sunday 4-7pm

You can email me at queenofspainblog@yahoo.com, or you can instant message me while IN Second Life by using â€œsearchâ€ on the bottom of your tool bar and searching for â€œQueen Tureaud.â€ Click on â€œQueen Tureaudâ€ to pull up my profile and send me an â€œinstant messageâ€ telling me who you are and that you are a BlogHer. I will then work with you and hold your hand in the sometimes complicated but always fun virtual world.

You can also take advantage of Second Life tutorials to get you started. These â€œresidentâ€ made video tutorials can be found at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Video_Tutorials .

BlogHer in Second Life will be a â€œPGâ€ event. This means those of you wishing to explore some of the more adult oriented spaces will have to do that on your own, and it will be expected that you adhere to these policies while attending any BlogHer events in Second Life.

I will be posting here at BlogHer.org with tips, tricks, and ideas to get you ready for the virtual conference.

Hope to â€œseeâ€ you there!
