Details:
The Third Annual Second Life Combat Expo to be held on Armory Island from May 17-19, 2008. Armory Island is located in the virtual world of Second Life (www.secondlife.com), and residents can teleport to the event via http://snurl.com/21qlo
The expo will focus on virtual combat products, services, security and opportunities within the virtual world of Second Life. This will be an opportunity for in-world creators raise their corporate profile within Second Life, and assist real life companies in building their presence within the virtual world.
As part of the Expo, exhibitors will be invited to demonstrate new virtual products, and also submit topics for presentation. Such topics should be relevant to virtual combat, virtual security, or collaboration between internal and external companies.
To participate in the Expo, Second Life companies can choose from Standard, Gold or Diamond level stands, and they are priced at 1,000L, 2,500L and 10,000L respectively. Real life companies can purchase Corporate Diamond stands for 50,000L. In addition, video advertisements are being negotiated, and are expected to add 5,000L to the cost of a stand. (Note: much of the revenue received from this Expo, will be used to assist with marketing and related activities, and where possible Diamond level vendors will also be included in expo advertising.)
To reserve a stand or to become a corporate sponsor, avatars can contact Apollo Case in-world or at [email]apollocase@yahoo.com[/email] or Aled Numanox in world or at [email]connorobrien@email.com[/email] The website is www.slcombatexpo.com.

About Armory Island
Owned by Apollo Case, Armory Island started in the combat sim of Jessie in February 2006 as the Jessie Weapons and Shields Trade Show. It moved to Armory Island on September 11, 2006, and is now one of Second Life’s largest virtual arms areas with over fifty independent vendors. Every vendor is pre-qualified for quality and reliability, and there is a broad range of virtual weapons, shields, clothing and gadgets for every avatar.

Notes:
====
1. All Diamond booths represent a contribution to advertising and marketing of the SL Expo. This is a branding exercise, and exhibitors should not purchase a place on the expectation they will make the amount back in sales over the three days at the expo
2. Diamond Corporate is restricted to real life corporations
3. Non combat vendors are also welcome to display, but will start at the Diamond Level.
4. Exhibitor logos will be placed on Expo ads where possible. For example in larger advertisements such placements will be possible, for smaller advertisements, particularly where space is limited, such placement will not be possible.
5. We are currently negotiating for short videos to be available for Diamond and Diamond Corporate exhibitors. We expect videos to be priced at about 5,000L per 30 seconds, and we expect the videos to play for an additional 7 days after the Expo.
