Building Towards SLCC 2008

The proposals and the sponsorship requests are starting to come in and we are so excited at what we are seeing. We hope that if you have been thinking about sending in an idea for a Mini-Track that you will fill out the Request For Proposal form and give us an idea of what you would like to do. We have had some very cool sponsors approach us and we are very excited with how things are beginning to shape up. Moreover I will be traveling down to Tampa on a personal trip and will be posting some pictures of the space to help you all realize how great of a facility we have secured.

We have updated the travel information on the tabs above so you can begin planning your trip. We are going to try and set up a “ride share” and possibly a “room share” space to help folks that are interested in sharing. The hotel room block is not open yet and we are still getting the exact cost of registration set so please be patient. I can tell you that the conference charge is going to be in the $210 - $230 range, and that the hotel is $149.00 for single and double rooms and $169 for triples and $189 for quads.

Please stay tuned as we release more information as we get it.

    Isn’t that during hurricane season?

    Yes, it is right in the middle of the “peak” season … the Atlantic hurricane season runs from roughly June 1st until roughly November 30th. The peak of the season (most active time) is roughly from August 15th until September 30th.

    Into everyone’s second life a little particle generated rain must fall. Look at it this way - instead of virtual flying we get to be treated to the real thing. How often do you get to see sailboats flying through the air at 125 mph outside of SL? Look at it as an adventure and I’m sure you will be fine.

    I live in Tampa. The hurricanes always miss us.
