Orange Island, previously reported upon here, will be holding a day-long summit this Friday, November 16, on the nature of identity and how it relates to one's avatar in Second Life. It's a packed event, with a host of SL luminaries presenting, including Ordinal Malaprop, Torley Linden, Celebrity Trollop, Michi Lumin, and Forseti Svarog.

The day's line-up looks like this:

9am – 10am – Avatar as a Personal Brand
Speakers: Torley Linden, Celebrity Trollop, and Saeya Nyanda
Moderator: Haver Cole
10am – 11am – Open Discussion on Avatar and Brand Identity
11am – 12pm – Persona and Identity Transparency in Business
Speakers: Ordinal Malaprop, Forseti Svarog
12pm – 1pm – Open Discussion and Gallery Showing of Avatar Showcase Winners
1pm – 2pm – Non-Human Avatars
Speakers: NeoBokrug Elytis, Kumi Kuhr, Michi Lumin
Moderator: Adri Saarinen
2pm – 3pm – Open Discussion and Gallery Showing of You and Your Avatar photos
3pm – 5pm – Wind Down Mixer and Discussions
Music and entertainment by DJ Doubledown Tandino

Finally, leading up to the event, the preceding Thursday will witness the Avatar Showcase, where "Residents are invited to present their most unique and interesting avatar in this two hour event. The top three avatars will have their portraits made and displayed during one of the gallery exhibitions during the following day's discussions." Full information on Orange Island's website. I plan to be there on either day; if you've an SL account, come enjoy the festivities!

[Thanks, Adri!]

This is just a fantastic line-up, with fascinating topics. I'm sorry I can't attend due to a RL non-SL job.
