Some of the hands-on workshops (marked with a '*') require you to have a minimum level of competence with Second Life. If you're new to Second Life, or feel the need to brush up on your skills, then you need to attend one of the pre-conference workshops (see Question 4), or choose the 'Virtually there. an introduction to Second Life' as your first parallel session choice.

There is no additional charge for attending a pre-conference workshop.
