Streaming Services

 All of the events will also be streamed in Adobe ConnectPro and keynotes/ panels will also be streamed with UStream. ConnectPro is a webconferencing software which allows us to screenshare the events in SL, almost like a virtual window to a virtual world. You do not need to have an avatar to attend a session in Adobe and you can watch on and listen into the presentations, workshops, tours, demo lessons etc.

Conference Party

Do not miss the fabulous party set up and organised by our favourite party girls Karelia and Mary!
