Virtual Conferences, Real People

Over the last few years The Second Life platform has been used to host numerous virtual conferences like <head> where real people have gathered from around the world, to talk, listen, learn and importantly meet each other. This session will discuss what I've learned from attending, presenting and chairing many sessions at virtual conferences in Second Life.
