*** Update ***
Hi, Everyone.
The VW LEM Conference begins later today at noon SLT.  I thank everyone who will be presenting, facilitating, exhibiting, and sponsoring this conference.
The main conference venue is Infotainment Island (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Infotainment%20Island/120/125/31/).  At various spots on that venue you can pick up a notecard containing the conference schedule with landmarks to each location, a conference t-shirt, and a lanyard. 
Here’s the line-up of presenters, venues, and venue managers. 
A few presenters (highlighted in blue) have not yet accepted my invitation to join the VLEM2009 in-world group.  
IMPORTANT:  You need to accept that invitation and make that your active group in order to get onto the conference sims today and tomorrow.
