Adult Virtual Convention....

[Loki]

I did some searching and it seems a lot of you guys and gals might not know about this, so I'll get this topic rolling.....

ADULT VIRTUAL CONVENTION is taking place Feb 24th - Feb 26th (special Industry day is Friday the 24th) inside "Red Light Center" the MMORPG from Utherverse.

The 3 day event will feature parties, exhibit booths, porn star meet and greets, speaking panels and more!

Registration is 100% free if you just want to attend, network and check it all out AND if you want a booth there are still some available for $99 (Keep in mind the bulk of the show is geared toward B2C so you'd want to promote to surfers (but don't forget Friday is industry day!)

Myself, I have a booth in the "Green Hall" and I'm am also sponsoring the After Party on Sunday, as well one of the speaking panels,

I will also be on a speaking panel with Zak Zarry from Utherverse & Max Bapstist from Bonetown on Friday.

This also marks my very first convention in my 15 years in the biz (even though it's virtual it still counts right? )

I think something like this is a TRUE no brainer and I encourage all of you to at least register to attend and see what it is all about, IF you want to pick up a booth, get in touch with me (AFTER you get setup with the convention people) and I might be able to help you build your booth (LIMITED NUMBER OF THIS AVAILABLE!!!!)

Also If you're going to do a booth and you want me to help build it make sure when you contact the convention people to register you let them know that "Loki3D" from LokiCash might be building your booth for you, so they can add me to your building/decorating permissions.

(I'm NOT being paid by anyone for this, I'm doing this to help out the event in the hopes that it is more successful!,

I feel that this type of venue with an ESTABLISHED Consumer base is not only a great cost effective way to get your brand out to new people, but with the growing popularity of these MMORPG'S you kind of SHOULD be looking into this in the first place!)


If you have any questions post them here, if I can't answer them I'll make sure to get one of the convention people in here to answer.

Oh, before I forget, this convention is TRULY a VIRTUAL CONVENTION...

I've attended a few mainstream "virtual conventions" and it was really nothing more then moving my mouse around a flash "hall" and clicking on a booth to have a webpage launch explaining the product or service.

THIS ONE HOWEVER....

YOU create your avatar, walk around the convention, sit down in chairs, meet actual people, chat with them via text or voice (VIP'S ONLY) Dance, eat, drink, drugs (yeah it's funny too lol)

So before anyone asks "How 'Virtual' is it" I figured I should should answer that off the bat lol.

If you've ever checked out World Of Warcraft, or Second Life, it's very similar to that, walk, talk, move around etc etc.

this has got to be a practical joke- seriously!

Why is that?

Stuff like WOW and Secondlife have huge memberbases and internal communities as well as events that happen 'in game' and RLC is no different in that regards.

I honestly don't know why it's taken this long for something like this to be done in our industry!

-Loki-

[Dragnet]

its retarded cause those are games and this is business, duh

if you cant scrape together 2 nickels to go to a real show you may be in the wrong line of work

So, I guess you've not spent much time in those 'games' then? or seen the many documentaries like "Life 2.0" (It won some awards too)

There are people in second life for example who make 6 figures a year just creating clothing and building stuff for people in the game.

With RLC for example you could create your own night club, sex club whatever, and then CHARGE A COVER for people to attend events inside your club and YOU get that money.

Many actual companies have things like this in RLC right now, just sign up free and walk around the world and see all the familiar brands that are in there now and successful.

Now, as far as this convention goes, it's part industry (day 1) and then Consumer (day 2 and 3) so what you should be thinking IF it applies to you....

"I could promote my brand/s to all those (PAYING MEMBERS... meaning they already pay for porn) if I spend a few bucks"

Even if it's not "YOUR THING" It's your current and potential customers you need to think about.

It has nothing to do with having nickles to rub together, this is a virtual convention that will have active porn / adult buyers (customers) attending (as well as industry people for the industry day)

ME, NOT being involved with this and or NOT attending this would be my call to retire from this industry and go get a 'real job'

Did you get in touch with them about a booth yet? let me know if you need me to build it for you

-Loki-

[jimmycooper]

Will anybody there be playing Dungeons & Dragons?

[raymor]

Sounds like it's kind of halfway between GFY and a convention. Online conversation like GFY, but in real time like a convention. If it were focused to B2B I might check it out.

Do some virtual drugs for me.

Friday Feb 24th is strictly a B2B event day, networking, speaking panels, and an opening party at the end of the day.

Sat and Sun (feb 25th & 26th) are the B2C event days

[Loki]

Sorry, passed out for awhile lol, I'm on a midnight sched this past week lol

According to an email I got from Stephanie from the Utherverse:

we already have 1500 registered so people can expect at least 3000-5000+ on the weekend of the event

[Loki]

Late night bump OR Early morning bump, you decide lol

[CurrentlySober]

Do they have virtual bathrooms for me to do a virtual poo in?

[Profits of Doom]

Is anyone else having a problem registering? It locks up on me every time I try...

I was trying to register to attend and the site was freezing up on me but it works now. I'm actually looking forward to checking this out, I've never pushed games much with the exception of the occasional banner on one of my blogs, so I'm gonna try and build a few gaming only blogs and see what happens...

If anyone wants to join me I'm in the H2O Gents Club lol

Mitch the thought has crossed my mind , I'm just afraid of the virtual anal probe at airport security

[baddog]

PimpsPromo will be there. Be sure to stop by for a beer. I am trying to determine the legality of virtual spliffs.

Anna just gave me a tour and I'm blown away by it all...

Loki's booth kicks ass, btw, as do others. I can't wait to see Baddog's "photo" galleries!

This is the future of trade events unfolding and serious folks will want to be there

[alias]

Post some screen captures of the XBIZ.net booth to get everyone fired up Stephen!

Loki has taken me around as well as hooking me up with a custom t-shirt. I am going to do a walk thru with her tomorrow so I can Landmark the hot spots.

Be sure to come by my booth to relax and network.

Sadly, I didn't think to grab (and wouldn't want to spill the beans, anyway), but it's cool.

I don't know about "virtual spliffs" but there's a couple hookahs and some comfy couches in our booth

BIG TIP: register early and familiarize yourself with navigation, tools, customize avatar, etc.

This will rock

Looks great Lloyd, glad to see you are reducing your carbon footprint lol
I've just signed up and look forward to seeing my booth.
See you there, and I'll bring a virtual spliff too

[alias]

I'll check it out.

+1 on the big tip.

[DK]

This just makes sense. Also I don't have to worry about getting hit in the head if someone throws a virtual chair off their virtual balcony.

I just registered. Loki can you hook me up with a virtual show badge?

[emjay]

Looks like my booth is right next to Kink's Looking forward, virtually of course

[grumpy]

Lets give Second World a second chance.

Second Life is shit.

This is being done by Red Light Center and XBiz.

Second Life is to Red Light Center as Atari 2600 is to XBox 360

i did a mainstream event like this many years ago and you could walk up to the google booth and chat with the people working it, very helpful. i wanted to know if this adult convention has the capabilities the mainstream show did such as:

searching your category to show all who are at the convention (on and offline)
selecting from the list of attendees and clicking on them to chat
selecting an attendee and exchanging vcards

matter of great importance:

Loki, when I clicked on masks while making my avatar it took her make-up off and i cant get the make-up button to work and put it back on. i simply cannot show my face without the lipstick. also, i saw an outfit i want from the store in the world but i might need help figuring out how to put on the different pieces

and lastly:

i figured out how to have hot moves on the dance floor but where did everyone get the glowsticks? i need those

thank you

I don't have most of the answers for you. Loki might know more. I, personally don't wear lipstick or makeup in RLC

But I do know how to get the glowsticks. You need to take the virtual Ecstasy pills. Often you'll find them near dance floors on trays. Otherwise, you may need to ask in the General Chat, "Where can I get a glowie?" and someone will tell you where the tabs are

[Chris]

is there a reminder set up for this?
i know im going to forget

OMG, hahahaha!! Everyone had them on the dancefloor except me I saw the trays but didn't know what that was. it was embarrassing being out and about with no makeup when all the other bitches were in hot outfits and dolled up.

I'll put a nice tray of spliffs in your booth tonight, the legality is there is no law against in RLC ;)

Thanks I've not actually gotten a chance to tour the convention area yet, I've been busy building booths. T-Shirts and locations, and getting some tours done for people who need a hand getting around in RLC.

Talked to Anna this afternoon, we're gonna set some time aside early next week so I can get my seek peak on lol

Actually Damian, it IS the first of it's kind....

AEVC is the first "ADULT ENTERTAINMENT" Virtual Convention, matters not that second life held an in world convention that showed off the builders, clothes makers, prop makers and mainstream companies.

Or the number of "bullshit" virtual mainstream conventions that take place in a flash environment (those were a HUGE letdown to me lol)

AEVC is the first 360' fully interactive convention based entirely around our industry both online and offline.

I'm hoping this goes better then expected, and that it not only continues but gets bigger year after year, and I for one will be there to sponsor whatever they put out, just after seeing what I have so far AND I've not even gotten to see the convention area yet lol

from what I know about RLC so far....

You will see a list of all who are in whatever realm (room/location) you are at, at any given time

Exhibitors / booth staff will have the words "exhibitor" above their names, so you'll know who to go talk to.

Depending on how the booths are setup, for example my booth....

Tons of stuff in my booth is clickable, and will lead you either to a location of mine inside RLC, OR to a webpage featuring more information

MAGNIFYING GLASSES = webpage links that will open in your default browser

DOOR ICONS = links to other realms inside of RLC

I've advised everyone I've talked to that has a booth to 'bring someone with them' to help work their booths, this will allow people to walk around and network with other booths and still have someone at their own booth to field questions and provide information.

IF you are an exhibitor and you've not yet set this up, get with Anna, Steph or Zak and have them add VIP to your booth help so you can clothe them, and PM with them as needed, (you can also jump to their location as long as you both are VIP's and are added as each others friends)

I advise ALL who are attending this event in whatever fashion to upgrade to VIP at least for the convention period (sponsors, speakers and exhibitors get free VIP "trial" during the convention so no worries there)

But as a VIP you can PM, 'jump to friend's locations' access the clothing system and much more, it will really come in handy during the convention and hell seeing as this is a FREE convention that requires no cost to attend, spending $20 to get all the perks is well worth it!

As for the make-up, I'm sorry can't help you there, I do know that certain options are not available depending on what you have on...

For example you could wear a shirt that also uses the head for a necklace or something like that, that will then negate the makeup tab...

I made a fishnet outfit for a friend in RLC and to make it work 100% I had to use all of the skin files for the outfit, so while wearing that outfit THAT is you being naked lol

Look me up next time you go in world "Loki3D" and if you need anything else I'll be glad to help you out.
