Registration now open for December’s OpenSim Community Conference

The Opensimulator Community Conference is the annual conference that focuses on the user community and developers of the OpenSimulator virtual world software.

This year’s conference will run from December 6 to December 8, 2024.

Registration is now open, and is free.

OSCC 2024 kicks off with a Friday pre-conference launch event featuring meetups, art, live music, and DJ sets, and then two days of fast-paced presentations, panels, performances, and immersive tours spotlighting the technical, scholarly, artistic, commercial, and community-produced works across diverse sectors of the OpenSimulator user base.

There will also be the opportunity to explore community events, tours, and workshops leading up to and following the conference weekend.

OpenSimulator is an open-source, multi-platform, multi-user 3D application server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) that is accessible through a variety of clients on multiple protocols. Users can also visit other OpenSimulator virtual worlds across the web by using the Hypergrid protocols. In this way, it is the basis of an open-distributed Metaverse.

The conference is hosted on an OpenSimulator grid specifically designed for the conference.

We hope to be able to accommodate over 400 users in total, which includes speakers, sponsors, and staff.

Since virtual seats are limited, registration is open on a first-come-first-served basis until the maximum number of virtual conference center tickets is reached. At that point, community members will still be able to register for the live-streamed version of the conference that will be available.

The expo area will not be ticketed and can be accessed by any avatar, subject to constraints on the number of avatars that the exhibition regions can hold at any particular time.
