Whilst the Virtual Worlds Forum Europe in London that had to take place *now* was cancelled due to ‘an unrelated incident at the venue in which a member of the public was shot’ and Virtual Worlds London is ‘upcoming’ October 21-22 (Boss speaking!), the ‘Second Life Business and Social Expo’ that will take place June 4-9, 2009 at Portland, Oregon is ready to accept track proposals. From SL-base.com (am I the only one thinking ‘all your base are belong to us’? ;)):

Join us in the City of Roses for the most comprehensive conference and exposition of Second Life. Two conferences in one, combining both the social and business elements of the fascinating world and citizenry that makes up Second Life. Five separate tracks each for business and social exploration and an exhibit floor with over 40 companies showing their Second Life.

Now Accepting Track Proposals: The volume of information and applications for and about Second Life are overwhelming. However, we have decided to focus on the following areas in each of the social and business days.

1. Business:Education, Business, Technology, Not For Profit and Sponsor Track.
2. Social: Machinma (film and TV), Art and Culture, In SL Business, Community and Technical.

To submit a proposal, send a synopsis including:

1. Topic and placement (eg. - Business, Education)
2. Format (Panel discussion, presentation, forum)
3. Relevance and backup
