Land Expo 09

This article is obsolete, but kept as a historical record. Do not rely on this information in any way. However, it may be used in the future, so please do not delete or modify.

Welcome to the Expo!

In Second Life, land is what gives your content presence, boundaries, and a sense of permanence. In the last six years, Second Life's land mass has gone from 11 regions up to (at last count) 27483 total regions. Reminiscent of the unwieldy wild west in the United States 1800s and around the world in times of frontier exploration, some have found settling on land in Second Life to mean great opportunity and a means to enhance business, community, and collaboration in innovative ways.

To support the growth of innovative uses of land, to share best practices in virtual land management and development, and to support flourishing land businesses in Second Life, Linden Lab is proud to announce the first inaugural Land Expo!

What can you expect?

During the Expo, Linden Lab will be showcasing our NEW four prefab regions as well as many examples of innovative uses of land. There will be space available for land retailers to set up booths to advertise their land offerings. In addition, we will be providing a central pavilion where presentations on the topic of best practices in land management and land development can be shared.

RETAILERS: If you sell land in Second Life and have a compelling product or creative land offering, we encourage you to sign up for booth space. Booths must be able to fit on 2100 m/sq (750 prims) and may include landmarks, visual displays, and video stream explaining your offering. Space will be limited and we will not be able to respond to all applications. To sign up for a booth to advertise your land offering, please submit your request for space HERE.

We will follow up with the approved applications individually so please provide accurate information when applying.

LAND MANAGERS: Do you have expert advice or tips for developing immersive land experiences? When it comes to innovation and creative uses of land development do you have best practices to share? We encourage all land gurus who have advice on developing land to sign up for a 30min or 60min time at the central pavilion the week of 6/2-6/6 to present your ideas. Please submit your topic for discussion, a brief summary, and requested time for delivery HERE.

We will follow up with the approved presenters individually so please provide accurate information when applying.
