2nd Virtual Conference on Counseling (2VCC)

WOW!! What an event. We had a great time partnering up with Marty and Debra for the virtual conference. What a lot of work they put into this conference - which was totally obvious by the great success!!

We streamed the event live from our website http://www.onlinevents.co.uk/
John, Christie and I prepared ourselves for a night-shft as the event started 10 am NY time -(3pm our time until 3am) Wednesday to Saturday!! This was possible though coffee, tea, pizza's, curry, soup......and the rest.

We where watching online, attending the conference in SL, talking to each other in MSN. Yes 3 places at once. and I'm sure, yes positive, john was in more places IE twitter and such like!! At times it was very confusing, especially when it was getting into 2am and we were still going.

This was a great team experience and an example of how relational being online is. We were spending time with attendees in SL and working close as a team in MSN. And at no point did i feel distanced from anyone.
John set up a studio which was amazing!!! So many things going on there at once!!! There where a few scary moments when we lost the stream or the Internet connection, but as everyone who spends time online knows these things come with the territory as they say.
We finished off the conference with a dance on the roof, which was very exciting!!!

The experience altogether was great and I look forward to a lot more in the future!!
