I've had a few questions from members wondering if they should attend the Second Life event next week if they don't have any experience with Second Life or any other virtual world.
My response - most definitely!
We've designed this event so it covers all the basics: what is Second Life, who are the people in Second Life, what they are doing, etc. We'll also discuss the implication for businesses and look at what marketers need to know about virtual worlds.
There is no need join Second Life before coming to the AIMS event. In fact, one of the breakout sessions for those new to Second Life will walk through how to set up an avatar (ie. join the residents of Second Life).
If you are curious about finding out a little more about Second Life I'd recommend checking out the AIMS delicious resource of articles/web pages that have been tagged with the 'virtual worlds' tag. Reading a few of these articles will provide a great overview.
And of course we'll have a more advanced breakout session for those who are already Second Life residents and/or looking at the business implications of virtual worlds.
Does anyone have any specific questions about Second Life? I've had a few comments and questions from members and I've forwarded them to the speakers. We'll have lots of time for Q&A after the discussion so please let me know what's on your mind and the questions you'd like to have answered during this session.
