Scenes From the B6B

 

By Gemma Cleanslate

 

The B6B, BBB5B event is going strong until April 20. As promised there is a wonderful build in the Renaissance theme . Parties start every day at 12 and go on until about 9ish every evening. One night they continue til midnight! You may run into Lindens, Moles Bureaucrats, and commoners roaming about or dancing at the stage area. For collectors with passports many are carrying tablets with memorable stamps. If you are new to collecting visit the BBB office at the event and get started.

Here are some photos at the event.

Virtual World Best Practices in Education 2025 Conference

 

By Dancerina Starlight

It is the last month of the first quarter of 2025, and it is time for Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education (VWBPE). The VWBPE is a global grassroots community event, which focuses on education in immersive virtual environments. Organized by the Second Life community, the conference is designed to provide space to showcase immersive learning in virtual worlds.

This year's theme proves to lend to some really interesting topics over the three-day conference. The conference will occur from Thursday, April 3 to Saturday, April 5. However, there will be a kick-off party for all volunteers on Tuesday, April 1 at 4:00 PM SLT. All are welcome to join and have a great time.

Where will the Conference Take Place?

All sessions of the VWBPE 2025 Conference are held in Second Life®. A few exceptions are the Immersive Experiences that occur before and after the conference, which may be in SL or other online venues. All times are in SLT (US Pacific Daylight Time).

You may access this time zone converter for your local time: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html.
 

How Do I Get to the Session?

To teleport to a session, open an individual event on the calendar from any calendar view. A window will open and you will either see SLURL links in the text or a text link at right that says “Go to event website” – clicking either link will take you to a separate tab or window with the familiar SL map. You can then either copy the URL at the top of that page, or right-click the “visit this location” button and copy that link address, then paste in the location box at the top of your viewer window and press “enter”.

Teleport boards will also be available in convenient locations around the regions for your use as well.

Can I Add Sessions to My Own Calendar?

Yes! You can add these events to your personal calendar! You don’t have to miss any sessions of the conference!
• To add all VWBPE conference events to your calendar, find the “Add to Calendar” button and click on it. You will find options to add to your Google, Outlook or Apple calendar.
