Welcome to the first day of the first annual OpenSimulator Community Conference 2013<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Use the hashtag #OSCC13<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Conference Schedule<\/h2>\n

We have an exciting program lined up, with great keynote presentations, breakout sessions, social events, and plenty of Expo regions to explore, and we look forward to seeing you in-world on the conference grid over the next two days! \u00a0Explore the full Conference Schedule<\/a> online\u00a0or check the Map & Schedule kiosks when you get in-world.<\/p>\n

Connecting to the Conference Grid<\/h2>\n

Registered speakers, sponsors, staff, and attendees can download the OSCC Viewer and log into the conference grid with the username and password that was emailed to the address you used when you registered. \u00a0If you requested a local account and have forgotten your password, please use the Forgot Password link<\/a>, otherwise review the Login Instructions<\/a> to connect to the grid and start exploring the conference venue.<\/p>\n

When you log into the conference grid for the first time, be sure to accept the Terms of Service pop up or you will be disconnected from the grid in 10 minutes! \u00a0If you miss the pop up, you may need to teleport to another region to trigger the notice again.<\/p>\n

OSCC Zone Groups Access<\/h2>\n

When you log in, you will land on your designated Landing Zone region 1, 2, 3, or 4. \u00a0Check the rotating banner in your Landing Zone to see the corresponding Keynote region that you should use for keynote presentations. \u00a0You will only be able to access the Keynote region that matches your Landing Zone unless you are a presenter. \u00a0See the Online Map<\/a> for an overhead view of the conference grid.<\/p>\n

Landing Zone Regions<\/h2>\n

The Landing Zone regions are social areas with plenty of great places to explore. \u00a0Be sure to check out the Clothing Shop to customize your avatar, or take a quick trip to the HyperGrid Hub and use the portals to visit our Sponsors\u2019 grids for even more shopping and exploring. \u00a0Just be sure to make it back to the conference grid in time for the program! \u00a0The Landing Zone regions also contain an Overflow Video area for viewing the conference streams if the Breakout Zones fill up and you can\u2019t get in.<\/p>\n

Breakout Zones and Keynote Regions<\/h2>\n

When you arrive at a Breakout Zone or Keynote region please sit in a chair ASAP during the sessions! \u00a0The conference grid will perform best if everyone takes a seat in the presentation areas. \u00a0All of the conference presentations will take place in the Breakout Zones and Keynote regions via parcel streaming media. \u00a0In-world voice will be disabled in those areas, so please use text chat for socializing, networking, and asking questions of the speakers.<\/p>\n

Expo Zones<\/h2>\n

The conference would not have been possible without the financial support of our Sponsors<\/a>, so please be sure to visit their exhibits and booths in the Expo Zones to thank them for sponsoring the conference! \u00a0Explore six regions of terrific booths and fun activities provided by our sponsors – and invite your friends who didn\u2019t get a conference ticket! \u00a0The Expo Zones are open to public hypergrid visitors!<\/p>\n

Technical Difficulties<\/h2>\n

Although we hope everything goes smoothly, it is always possible for there to be technical difficulties during the conference program. \u00a0If this happens, we appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to resolve the issue. \u00a0If you are disconnected from the grid, please wait a moment or two, check the conference Twitter stream @opensimcc<\/a> for updated information, and then try to log back in. \u00a0We will do our best to resolve issues quickly and stick to the conference schedule. \u00a0No matter what happens, we\u2019re sure the day will hold plenty of surprises!<\/p>\n

A tremendous thank you to all of our speakers, sponsors, volunteer staff, streaming team, and attendees! \u00a0We hope you enjoy the conference program and we\u2019ll look forward to seeing you in-world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
