Accessing the Conference
The VWBPE conference is completely virtual. This means that in order to attend you must, a) already have a free account and b) be logged in, with one of the immersive environments where the conference is taking place.
This year the conference is occurring in three (3) different immersive environments
- Second Life
- OSgrid, and
- Cloud Party
Space is limited on a first come, first served basis. Each region can only accommodate a maximum of 50 people. If you are getting teleport errors due to a region being full, please try one of the other gates indicated in our Location Guide or please be patient and try again in a few minutes.
Live Broadcast
If for any reason you can’t get into a region to participate in a presentation, you can always watch selected presentations live on Live Stream.
VWBPE Gateway
(http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/VWBPE%20Gateway/128/128/25)
This is the main gateway link. At this location you will find mentors to help you get to where you need to go, swag bags, social events, and the VWBPE marketplace.
This is also where you can pick up a VWBPE Landyard which contains links to all VWBPE locations.
People Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Some presentations will have real-time transcribers for deaf and hard of hearing people (provided courtesy of Virtual Ability). We are not able to provide transcriptionists for all presentations at the conference. Please check the schedule in advance.
