The Second Life Community Convention is a conference 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. The list goes on and on! 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!
What Attendees had to say about SLCC 2010
In the SLCC event, one can make contacts, learn of programs, and be exposed to so much more of the Second Life offerings in 60 hours than you can in 6 months in Second Lift itself. INTENSE! ~ SpinWeaver Radmussen

Superb organization and creative programming for our annual convention in Second Life. Really top-notch speakers and social events. I will be back next year for sure! ~ Prokofy Neva
It seems strange to me that a SL convention takes place entirely outside SL. I would have thought having an in world tie-in would have been much more community than you get without any inworld aspect. With the cost of travel, inworld conferences are becoming much more common. Unless there is an inworld aspect to this, it isnt a “community” conference, but a US SL community conference only (with a few exceptions). It may well be that the largest population of SL comes from the US, but there is a very large number outside too. These are more or less cut off from this “community” conference unless there is an online aspect too.
Hi Tim, there is an in-world component of SLCC too. We stream as much of the content in as possible and if you’re interested in helping organizing the in-world piece, please volunteer! The sign up is located at http://www.slconvention.org/staff/in-world-volunteer-application/.
