Hi Kerry,
We hope to be able to stream some sessions of SLCC in-world this year, but
we're still working out the details. Be sure to keep an eye on the
convention website at http://slconvention.org for more info about in-world
activities, I'm sure we'll have more info soon. :)
Thanks!

>
> The 6th annual Second Life Community Convention (SLCC) will take place in
> Boston, August 13-15, at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers, with a new
> organizing committee at the helm. AvaCon, Inc. has taken over the reins for
> the convention with a team experienced in the production of SLCC.
>
> The goal of SLCC is to bring the many Residents of the Second Life
> community together to network, build friendships and to discuss Second Life
> in a common forum. Since its inception, SLCC has been organized *by* the
> community *for* the community. All of the organizers and volunteers who
> plan and staff each year’s convention donate their time, expertise, skills
> and love of Second Life® to create a great experience for attendees. “While
> we all value our experiences in the virtual world, SLCC allows us to meet
> each other in person, share meals together, learn from one another, and
> celebrate the abundant creativity that Second Life® makes possible,” says
> organizer Misty Rhodes.
>
> The Second Life Community Convention presents a number of tracks relating
> to how people are using SL. Last years convention tracks included Education,
> Business, Health and Support, Nonprofit, Music, Fashion, Art, Theatre,
> Poetry, Performance & Community. This year organizers are melding areas
> which have overlapped in the past. “We’ve changed the names of some of the
> tracks slightly to better reflect the most common topics at the convention,
> and we expect that Business & Enterprise, Education & Research, and the Live
> Music & Performances track will be equivalent to ‘full tracks’ with the most
> sessions per day, while the remaining tracks will be ‘half tracks’ with
> fewer sessions over all,” explains Rhiannon Chatnoir of the organizing team.
>
> AvaCon, Inc. has launched a new website at http://www.slconvention.orgwhich has all the details for the convention content, registration,
> sponsorship, and volunteering opportunities. The site will act as the center
> for information about tracks, social events, location, and other details for
> attendees. Submission forms for proposals for panels and presentations can
> be found there, along with specifics for advertising in the convention
> program.
>
> Sponsorship opportunities are also available for the Second Life Community
> Convention. Sponsors have the opportunity to reach a highly coveted target
> demographic of tech-savvy early adopters, virtual world developers and
> thought leaders, online community organizers, and the most innovative and
> dedicated Second Life Residents. In addition to reaching the audience of
> 350-400 attendees of the convention in Boston, sponsors also have the
> opportunity to reach an even broader audience of thousands of Second Life
> residents through the virtual convention site hosted in the virtual world
> of Second Life
.
>
> Registration for the convention includes access to the convention content,
> exhibits, and lunches on convention days. The Early-Bird Registration is
> available to the first 50 paid registrants at $185. Through July 3, Early
> Registration is $230, and the Regular Registration price is $260.
>
> Because SLCC is organized *for* Second Life Residents *by* Second Life
> Residents, including teens – there’s something for everyone! Content
> creators, artists, and musicians attend to share ideas, get creative, and
> learn new techniques from the pros. Enterprise users and businesses discuss
> strategies for success and techniques for maximum ROI. Educators present
> research, best practices, and workshops. From casual users, community
> groups, and roleplayers to the serious side of Second Life, come to the
> conference to learn, share, and network with the real people behind the
> avatars!
>

> *AvaCon, Inc.* is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the
