How to join the Sessions in Second Life
To use the Second Life you must register yourself to the world. Then you can download the free Second Life client and install it in your computer.
To use Second Life you need broadband connection to Internet.
After registration you may login to the Second Life. Learning to move around in the Second Life and finding your way to the conference venues may take some time. So, if you have never before used Second Life it is probably a good idea to make sure that you will have some time to study how the world works. You may find the NMC Campus's Getting Started Manual useful.
When you are online and your Second Life software running you may simply click the address in the program to be teleported to that space.
