Mutara Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Greetings, I was wondering if there is ever any SL Conventions and if so when and where is the one for 2013 going to be held and if so who do I contact about it?? is there a website I can visit or a place in world that I can check out?? I would really love to meet others from SL. Thank You for all your help. Safe Paths Mutara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Muni Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 The last Convention was on 2011. There is no announcement about Convention this year: http://www.slconvention.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuhai Ling Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 There was no formal announcement but the organizers of the CL conventions have discontinued them. There were many factors such as a drop in interest because of the mass exodus of educators and non-profits last winter, but mostly it was due to Linden Lab no longer assisting or willing to show up. This is in line with the lab's recent change of priorities away from SL and to their new app projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuhai Ling Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Czari and Daja, you know better than to speak of things that shall not be spoken of... let others do it for you! On this topic, here is the most refered to "unofficial" announcement concerning the SL Conventions. Hope you enjoy! http://www.metaversejournal.com/2012/07/16/the-end-of-the-second-life-community-convention/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
