slconference 2007

As said previously, I am part of the slconference 2007 team organising a Second Life conference in Berlin this September. So this is what kept me busy:

• writing to potential sponsors and speakers
• updating speaker profiles and session descriptions
• writing and publishing press releases
• translating news and descriptions
• keeping in contact with speakers and answering their queries (ABN AMRO, ING, Lost in the Magic Forest, Community Chest)
• sending out e-mails to potential participants (media agencies, full service agencies, universities etc.)
• and little things in between

When checking proposals we got for slconference 2007, I was in trouble with different identities, especially when the in-world name sounds like a real name. It happened to me with Andreas Mertens and Patrick Wunderland

July, 11 - 11am - 7pm
Pforzheim University of Applied Science, Tiefenbronner Str. 65, Room T 1.5.09

The development of the virtual economy continues and Second Life is making a big contribution to it. For that reason we host a B2B Focus Day to deal with Second Life at the University of Applied Science Pforzheim on 11th of July 2007. To give you an overview about what can be done we invited chosen company representatives to lecture about their work with Second Life. In the following discussion the different points of view can be exchanged.
Attendance is limited to 30 persons alltogether.

Never in my life I visited Pforzheim!
So ... I am coming

more about the event you will find in the xing.com/net/secondlife_forum

It's been busy busy busy... A quick update to what happened in the past days. I have been away on a project meeting of OBELFA Yesterday morning, I wrote some news for the slconference website, prepared speaker requests for this event and wrote the today published press release about the Berlin Round Table taking place at the slconference the first event evening (September 16). Besides that, I am in contact with potential speakers and translate various document related to that...so I will stay a busy bee and continue.

I am preparing the slconference 2007 in Berlin. The slconference 2007 will merely be the beginning of a discussion about possibilities and impacts the virtual world has on the real world, that is expected to be continued in future conferences.
It will be a place, where people and companies involved in Second Life and newbies encounter, among other things, new business opportunities and learning environments in a virtual world.

Today I have created many banner for the second life conference.
Here you can see the results. If you like them, put a banner on your blog or on your homepage.

There is a story behind The lady in the picture.

For all those who not have yet heard about the Second Life conference taking place in Berlin this September, have a look here. I am part of the slconference 2007 team, responsible for the marketing and texts published. I have already started last Thursday reviewing the Topics description of the website, writing the Invitation. I continued with the speaker invitation letter (for those interested click on it and read!! ) and the sponsorship letter. I finalized the first press releases in English and German and started to publish them on several PR websites. If anybody is interested, you can include banners and logos on your website. You find them all here.
