September Meeting of Business Communicators of Second Life Set: Presentation and Tour of The Infinite Mind Sim

Join us in The Infinite Mind simulation for a presentation and in-world tour on September 19 at 3:00 p.m. (PDT, SLT). I’m delighted that Bill Lichtenstein, president of Lichtenstein Creative Media, producers of The Infinite Mind public radio show and Drew Stein of Infinite Vision Media, developers of The Infinite Mind presence in Second Life, have generously agreed to be our hosts, presenters and guides for our September meeting.  These two companies collaborated on the creation of The Infinite Mind in-world facility, and are enthusiastic about sharing their insight and experiences with us.

If you’ve been following the Second Life news recently, you probably know that last month The Infinite Mind broadcast a series of live radio shows originating from Second Life with guests such as singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega and author Kurt Vonnegut. The shows had simultaneously a virtual in-studio audience, web audience and radio audience.

Bill and Drew (aka Boliver Oddfellow) have promised to enlighten us as to how they are connecting Second Life with broadcast media, to discuss issues surrounding leveraging a brand here and advise on how people process this media. 

The success of the Infinite Mind project has prompted Lichtenstein Creative Media and Infinite Vision Media to combine their expertise into a joint venture call Infinity Squared.  The venture focuses on the full scope of participatory educational, social and non-gaming experiential activities that 3-D environments uniquely facilitate. I’ve been promised more information about this and will update you here as I get more information.  In the meantime, plan to attend our meeting on September 19 and grab this opportunity to learn and ask questions.

You do not have to be a member of our in-world group, however if the number of people who wish to participate is especially high, preference will be given to members of the in-world group.  To join, simply use the in-world search, search for “SL Business Communicators” and click “Join” in the dialog box.

If you would like an email reminder – or to receive other announcements by email – please send me a note at lzimmer[at]marcominteractive[dot]com, or join our in-world group, SL Business Communicators, and receive SL email.

More information to come.  Join us!

I went for a tour of the Infinite Mind today and was impressed. Wish I could be on board for the meeting at 3 p.m., but I will be at a client meeting. It sounds interesting.

So sorry you can't join us, Kami.

Bill Lichtenstein is generously providing everyone who attends The Infinite Mind sweatshirts and coffee mugs for our avatars. If you want one let me know.

We'll post the transcript of the meeting here. Hope you can make the next one!
