To attend an event in Second Life, you need to download the program and create an avatar. This is free and easy, but the download and orientation takes approximately one hour, so we advise testing out Second Life the day before the event.

To get started creating your avatar, go to www.secondlife.com/join and follow the instructions from there. When you have logged into Second Life for the first time, you will need to teleport to Nature's island where the event will be held. To do this, click on the following link in your browser http://slurl.com/secondlife/Elucian%20Islands/252/206/23 this will open Second Life and offer you a direct teleport.

On the day of the event, Nature support will be there to help newcomers to Second Life make sure all your settings are correct and that you can see and hear the speakers clearly. We also have clear instructions on how to do this which it would be helpful for you to read through beforehand: http://www.nature.com/secondnature/events.html

If you need any more help, we have a detailed guide to getting started in Second Life: http://www.nature.com/secondnature/basics.html Nature support are also more than happy to help you if they are having problems getting started or would like a guide to your first visit to Second Life: contact details on the introduction page or email j.scott@nature.com
