2009 Second Life Community Convention

I attended the 2009 Second Life Community Convention and was honored to meet the people I have been working with in Second Life, as well as, be introduced to several new friends. I taught a workshop called Inspire Engagement through Appearance and Branding and was on a panel called Common Good – Common Goals – Common Ground – Effective Immersive Social Networking with Coughran and Ethelred. I enjoyed helping out with the other Nonprofit Track events like Transitions: A Place for Dreams – Case Study of Collaboration and Networking in Virtual Worlds with Ozma, InK, and Buffy. So many wonderful volunteers made this a successful and effective event. Thank you all! http://slconvention.ning.com/
